What September feels like
The ocean holds August's warmth right through September while the town empties after Labor Day, and it hands you fewer rainy days than any other month. Sunfest closes out the season at the inlet in the last week; hurricane season is still live, so keep half an eye offshore.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 73° — comfortable for swimming.
