What Is The Weather Like in Perdido Key?

With average air temperatures hovering between 61F and 90C, Perdido Key condos are a year-round vacation destination. Enjoy sizzling summer beach days with warm waters and even warmer days, or embrace the mild winters and explore the untouched wilderness of the Gulf of Mexico.

Sandwiched between Pensacola and Orange Beach in southeast Alabama, this barrier island stretches 16 miles long, and in many places just a few hundred meters wide. About half the island is made up of federal and state parks, making it an excellent beach destination for nature lovers.

Whenever you choose to visit, our Perdido Key beach rentals offer comfortable lodging in the heart of the key.

Winter

There’s no snow in our slice of northwest Florida, which makes Perdido Key rentals a popular destination for travelers from the north looking to escape parkas and shoveling.

Unless you are really brave, you are unlikely to swim from January through March, as the sea temperature dips to an average of 64F and the air cools to an average of 61F. Enjoy views of the beach from our 2 bedroom Perdido Key condo rentals, perfect for enjoying the water from the comfort of your own rental! Take advantage of the cool breeze and enjoy a hike in Big Lagoon State Park or the Perdido River Nature Preserve, get cozy with a book, or explore nearby cities.

Spring

There is a little of everything in Perdido Key during the spring months. Expect chillier waters at the end of March and through April, with the Gulf of Mexico waters becoming swimmable in May, reaching average temperatures of about 77F. Above-average sea temperatures remain until November.

The driest month of the year, May is one of the best months for swimmers staying at Perdido Key vacation rentals, as air temperatures hover around 82F and the water is warm enough for a dip. Sunbathers will also enjoy April’s cooler, sunny days, with an average temperature of 75F.

Spring is a great time to enjoy excellent Gulf of Mexico fishing. Fish inshore and offshore March through May for grouper, snapper redfish, and trout, among other species. Practice your cast and return for some of the region’s fishing tournaments in the summer!
