• Kausi

  Snowbird season

  5. tammi – 28. helmiTalviaurinkokausi

  Long-stay visitors from the Midwest and Canada take the condos by the month and the beaches are otherwise empty. Cool for swimming, cheap by Emerald Coast standards, and half the beach bars are shut.

Yhä menossa: Christmas and New Year (24. joulu – 1. tammi)

Rauhallista — yksi vuoden huonoimmista sääkuukausista

Mikään uusi ei ala — helmikuu.

• Kausi

  Spring break

  1. maalis – 15. huhtiKoululomatRuuhkaistaVaraa ajoissa

  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.

• Riski

  Rip currents and beach flags

  1. maalis – 31. lokaRepivät virrat ja isot aallot

  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. Lähde ↗

Vilkasta — Memorial Day weekend

• Luonto

  Sea turtle nesting

  1. touko – 31. loka

  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.

  Gulf warm enough to swim

  1. touko – 31. lokaMeri tarpeeksi lämmin

  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.

• Riski

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1. kesä – 30. marras

  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. Lähde ↗
