Máxima afluencia — Spring break, Spring break en Estados Unidos

• Temporada

  Spring break

  1 Mar – 15 AbrVacaciones escolaresMucha genteReserva pronto

  March into early April brings staggered school and university breaks from across the South, and Highway 98 through town becomes a single slow lane. Rates jump and the family condos go months ahead.

  Rip currents and beach flags

  1 Mar – 31 OctCorrientes y oleaje fuerte

  Lifeguards and the coloured flag system run through the warm months, and double red means the water is legally closed. The Gulf here looks flat and still pulls people out; the flag, not the view, is the thing to read. Fuente ↗

  Sea turtle nesting

  Loggerheads nest on the sugar-white sand from May, and hatchlings run for the water from midsummer into October. Beachfront lights go amber or off after dark and chairs have to be cleared from the sand each night.

• Temporada

  Gulf warm enough to swim

  1 May – 31 OctMar templado

  The Gulf here is comfortable from May and genuinely warm from July to September. It cools quickly in November, and January and February are wetsuit water despite the sunshine.

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1 Jun – 30 Nov

  June to November, with the Gulf's dangerous weeks from mid-August to early October. Storms here intensify fast over hot shelf water, and the low barrier island means surge, not wind, is what closes the roads. Fuente ↗
