I'm visiting the island for most of a week starting on 9/27. Wondered what the average water temperature is at that time of year. Would love to do some swimming if it's not too chilly! Thx.

The weekend before Labor Day weekend, the water was about 74 degrees...very comfortable for swimming. Labor Day weekend, the temps had fallen almost 10 degrees. I have a friend who swam in mid October. She loved it, but there is no way most people would.
