What October feels like
October is the turn: the rain tapers off through the month and the first honest front usually slips down the peninsula near the end. The tropics stay worth watching, but so does the light, which goes gold and long over Biscayne Bay.
Rain arrives about 9 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 83° — bath-warm.
