Can you swim in a gulf?

Is the Gulf warm enough to swim in around May 20th in the Tampa, Florida area?

  • Me and my wife are going on vacation from May 19th to May 25th and were wondering if the water is warm enough to swim in the Gulf of Mexico at that time in the Tampa area. Also what are the average temperatures of the water at that time? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    In the Tampa area, the water temperature at the beach (that would be St. Petersburg Beach) is between 80 and 84. You're good to go...unless you're a year-round Floridian, in which case, it's still a little cool. http://www.beachhunter.net/thingstoknow/gulfwatertemp/

If your a yankee then you will love it. I however dont usually go in the water till its around 80+ degrees. Most people do usually go in the water around memorial day weekend so I am sure you should plan on it. I belivie the water around that time is aroun 75
