What April feels like
April is when the beach season really starts here and the rain finally backs off after a soggy winter. Evenings still call for long sleeves, and the water is bracing enough that the first swim is a decision rather than a reflex.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 71° — comfortable for swimming.
