What April feels like
April carries the heaviest rain totals of any month here, usually as big convective bursts rather than drizzle, and the days in between are perfect. The Blue Angels start their practice season over the naval air station, which you can watch for free from the flight line.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 73° — comfortable for swimming.
