What April feels like
April is when birders crowd the boardwalks at the Nature Center hoping for a fallout, those exhausted migrants dropping into the first trees they see after crossing the Gulf. Sargassum piles up on the sand this time of year; the tractors come through early, so walk before breakfast if the seaweed bothers you.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 5 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 74° — comfortable for swimming.
