What September feels like
September is the peak of hurricane season and also the month the people who live here would choose: the rain drops off, the water stays warm, and the beach is wide open. The Destin Fishing Rodeo takes over the whole of October, and the docks start gearing up for it now.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 9 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 84° — bath-warm.
