What to pack

What January feels like

This is Winter Texan season, when the RV parks fill with Midwestern and Canadian plates and the dance halls run potlucks on weeknights. The Gulf is too cold for anything but a quick dare, but the beach is wide, empty, and yours.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 62° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
