What December feels like
December is one of the quietest months here, with a handful of freezing mornings and nobody in the water. The beach ball drop at Pier Park on New Year's Eve is the one night the strip looks like summer again.
Expect about 6 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.
