What April feels like
April is the local's month: northern plates head home, beach parking gets easy, and the Gulf turns properly comfortable. Evenings are the best of the year, which is why the Sunday drum circle on Siesta runs long.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 76° — comfortable for swimming.
