What December feels like
December is one of the wettest and coldest months of the year here and the beach becomes a walking destination only. Downtown does winter well — the lights along Palafox, the tree at Plaza Ferdinand, and oysters at their best.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 62° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
