Summer (May through September) brings daytime highs between 70 and 85°F, with calm mornings that turn breezy by afternoon. Thunderstorms roll in without much warning, sometimes delivering lightning shows and heavy rain. Mornings stay quiet for fishing and launching, while weekends see heavier boat traffic at mainland ramps. The island itself stays peaceful once you've made the crossing. Pack weather-resistant gear and be ready to secure equipment when wind picks up.
Open May–Sept; ideal boating/fishing weather though afternoons can be breezy and thunderstorms occur.
