What August feels like
August is where the hurricane conversation turns serious, and everybody here has both a plan and a memory. Between storms it is a beautiful, cheap, near-private version of this coast, with school back in session by the last week.
This is the wet season: rain on about 14 days, so pack accordingly. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 88° — bath-warm.
