Only Two Weeks Remaining

[Smiling JOe]

October 1 began the best two week period in South Walton, as usual. The Gulf begins to lay flat, and get's more clear than the water in your faucet. You may have to fight off the dog flies on occasion, but damn, if you don't like this weather, you won't ever like South Walton. I live for the first half of October at the beach. Better soak up every day because when Oct 15 comes around, the weather changes. The Gulf gets cooler and you have to start hiding from the wind.

Wish I was there! I miss fall break!! I wish our school district didn't take that away, we used to come in October every year....Thanks for the pics!!

October is the best month...

 

[sunspotbaby]

agreed. October is THE best month here, hands down.

Except for all the aggressive alligators, bears, mosquitoes, snakes, and sharks.

October is OK, but I deem November to be the best.

Okay, how hard-and-fast is this Oct. 15 rule? 'Cause I'm arriving on the 13th and leaving on the 17th. It's going to be really hard to have one perfect full day on the 14th and then have the rest of my trip ruined by cold water and wind. ;-)

One of my best days ever was fishing on the beach on December 15th when it was 78 degrees.

There is nothing hard and fast about SoWal this time of year. It is probably 90% or better that you will be just fine. The months of October, November and December here are truly fabulous!
