Water temps September- October?

Not sure about temp but it is just right for swimming and I do not like chilly water. September is still very steamy around here and air temps start to cool a bit in October but water temps are still fine.

Generally low 80s to high 70s. It's down to the mid-70s right around the first week of November.

For current, historical and future temperature readings, Nation Oceangraphic Data Center has you covered http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/egof.html. Look for Pensacola.

Does the water tend to be pretty calm that time of year? Green flags, yellow flags, red flags?? Thanks!!
