How late in the year do you swim in the gulf?

[Matt J]

The gulf is still warm, which is one reason we still have June Grass. And the threat of tropical weather. Dog flies come when wind is from the north. A good reason to get in the warm water.

From what I understand we're are most likely not going to see any tropical weather here, but we will have a colder than average winter.

It was cold last year and also wet. Let's not have another one!

I don't enjoy hormones, so seek real heat......winter be damned! Actually, I love the winter, until it gets below 75 degrees.;-)

I hereby transfer Tootsie's nickname to you both. She knows what it is and I can't post it here or I'll be banned.

The gulf is funn every month of the year. When it gets cold, put on the old wet suit. There is always a brief acclamation period when the water is chilly but it's not as bad you would think. I can't believe more people don't get out and utilize our amazing water all year. I think it's funn to go swimming on Christmas and New Years just to say I did! Also, with a suit, there is no fear of flies or jellies. It's a neoprene security blanket! You guys might think I'm crazy, but I couldn't recommend it more.

Are beach chair/umbrella rental companies still open this time of year?

Yes - in my experience. We rent through ResortQuest, and it's included thru the end of Oct. Only problem is that there are fewer "beach dudes" (what we like to call 'em), this month, so they come later in the a.m. - BUT they leave them set up later for wonderful sunset viewing time!

You will love it in October! I think the water is definitely warmer than in May.

That's great! I'm excited--which is why I'm obsessing.

Beach service isn't included with our condo, so we rent on our own. I can't remember who we used in May, but they would evict us from our chairs and umbrella really early. We noticed another company waited much later; of course, we can't remember its name either.
