It's impossible to guarantee clear water, but chances are early October is a great time. Unfortunately, some of our worst hurricanes have occurred in October as well.

How is the water clarity/seaweed typically in mid august? TIA
Hit or miss. I know that isn't terribly helpful, but August is just one of those months where I can recall both near perfect water and some pretty weedy water as well. On the other hand, it is so blasted hot in August, you'll probably want to get in it no matter what.:wave:

Every year is different. Almost impossible to tell how things will be in any given month.

How has the water been lately?

Warm and extremely wet.

Seriously though, there's no guarantees to clear water, especially if there's rain in the forecast. Heavy rain fall usually causes the dune lakes to burst releasing the tannin filled waters that cause completely black to hard to see in water.

It'll all be brown shortly though as Bay County is restoring the East Pass.
