There is usually a nice breeze for the sailors but the sea is not too rough for fishing and diving from small boats. Now the sailors, fishermen, and divers can plan for good weather. Winds are light and variable, the sea is calm and warm, Bahamians leave off the wetsuits. Afternoon and night showers become common. The showers become more numerous, the wind is calm, and we all watch the tropical weather information.
Afternoons are good for naps.
The pace becomes slow, even by Bahamian standards. This ushers in drier, cooler weather, but these fronts are not frequent. Fall can last until after New Years. The water remains warm, the winds are still light and the sea calm. Perfect weather for almost any activity ashore or afloat, an excellent time to bring a boat across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas.
