Playing Galveston, TX
Galveston faces southeast onto the Gulf of Mexico, and this stretch of the Texas coast is known for a persistent onshore breeze — a southeasterly flow off the Gulf that's part of most days rather than just an afternoon shift. Summers run hot and humid, with the occasional pop-up storm. The breeze rarely fully quits, so calmer mornings are usually the best bet, and the warm climate gives Galveston a long playing season.
