What March feels like
For a few weeks the island becomes the biggest spring break town in Texas, and the beach, the causeway, and every drive-through feel it. Come the last week of March and it thins out fast, though the water still catches you off guard on the way in.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 67° — brisk but swimmable.
