What to pack

What September feels like

September is the most active month of the storm season and the quietest of the warm half of the year — rates drop and the sand empties. When the weather cooperates the Gulf is still warm and the light over the sound goes gold in the evenings.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 10 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 84° — bath-warm.
