What December feels like
December brings more grey days than any other month here, and a run of them is entirely normal. The Christmas boat parade in the harbor is the local high point, and a hard front will put frost on the dune grass overnight.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 64° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
