What to pack

What September feels like

The rainiest stretch of the Galveston year and the deepest part of storm season — also the reason rates drop and the beaches empty out. Locals fish it hard — the redfish run, and the water holds its summer warmth long after the schools go back.

Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 11 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 87° — bath-warm.
