Beautiful Bahamas but the beach is off limits

Often. The weather could be too cold, too warm, too wet, too dry....no not too dry. I've gone swimming in Pensacola in March....everyone told us the water was too cold. The air temperature was around 82F (28C). We told them....we are Canadian....the water wasn't too cold. Two years ago I was in Oregon in January. We told the local ladies we were going to wade in the Pacific....they told us we were crazy. The water was cold, but we didn't mind....again we reminded them that we are accustomed to cold water. It would have been too cold to swim.

My needs were met when we were in Bahamas a few years ago. Getting to a new place and having a cruising experience is all what I wanted while at the Bahamas. I particularly liked the white sands of Coco cay Beach

Oh yes, lots of times. I hope you can get on the beach tomorrow and enjoy the rest of your stay.

We were at the Oregon coast last weekend and the days alternated between gale-force wind and rain and beautiful sun.

So sorry. It's been windy, too, in South Florida, not too far from the Bahamas. It will stop late Tuesday.

Actually the day I moved to Israel it was raining and very very windy and I thought to myself what am I doing. I hope the weather cleared up. It is so nice to get away from the cold and ice and not to go to somewhere you feel you never left home.

Yes one time I went to the ocean and it was rainy awful weather the whole time we were there. My daughter wound up sick the second night. What is the temperature there in the Bahamas? With it being windy I am picturing our snowy cold weather here but I don't think that can be the case there especially if you are wanting to swim ha ha. What is the big brown thing in the photo?

Several times. I thought it would by sunny all day longs on the beach but it turned out to be rainy day with hard wind.

Oh yes it can be so crappy to be on holidays and not being able to do want you want due to the bad weather. Fortunately this never happened to me. I hope that the weather gets better so that you can make the moat of your holiday

Yes, I went down to Turks and Caicos in January and the cold snap had reached all the way down there. It was supposed to be in the 80s and was in the 60s, but only for the first day, and then it warmed up after that. And then in North Carolina many years before that there was a waterspout the one morning, but that was really cool to see. And another day was driving wind and brutal surf, and another time was scorching heat waves that made the beach impossible to walk on. It's tough to go down on vacation and get trapped inside! Of course, there was that time when I went to Florida and the weather was great, but a school of jellyfish blew in and I got stung all over my back. But they weren't dangerous, just annoying. I'm glad it wasn't a Portuguese Man of War, I found one of those on the beach that morning!

When I went to China it poured hard for 13 out of 14 days! We only had one sunny day!

I booked a vacation once to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, and four days before my vacation started, a hurricane hit the island. When we arrived for our paradise vacation, there wasn't much left of the paradise!

Hope you get to do some swimming soon. It's certainly hot enough here for swimming. 32C today, 37C yesterday.

Yes we are having windy conditions in some parts of the Caribbean - and the nights are chilly. Hope you packed a sweater or two.

We went to key West once and it was way colder and windier than we expected. I hope you made it into the water!
