San Antonio offers hot summers and mild winters with occasional afternoon storms. Breezes are common and can help on warmer days. Spring and fall balance temperature and rainfall well. Summer monsoon influence brings brief rain windows that pass quickly.
In San Antonio, wind is never really off the clock. Every month of the year averages peak winds between 11 and 14 mph — consistently above the site's calm threshold of 8 mph — which means club selection here is less a matter of preference and more a matter of arithmetic. April is the windiest month at 13.9 mph average peak, while September offers the closest thing to a reprieve at 11.1 mph. Even that difference is modest enough that you shouldn't leave the extra club in the bag.
The wind's timing matters as much as its speed. Prevailing breezes can offer some relief when highs push to 96°F in July and August. In spring, shifting winds ahead of storm systems can gust well beyond the monthly averages, especially during May's 21 precip days — the wettest stretch of the year. Understanding how the wind is moving on a given morning often shapes your scoring more than any other factor at local courses.
April is the single windiest month of the year at 13.9 mph, with March close behind at 13.5 mph and May slightly lower at 13.3 mph — spring as a whole runs hotter on wind than any other season. Temperatures are comfortable — highs climb from 75°F in March to 86°F in May — but May's 21 precip days make afternoon tee times a gamble. Morning rounds in April and May give you the best shot at finishing before convective storms develop.
July and August both average 96°F highs, and peak winds drop only slightly to 12.6 and 12.3 mph respectively. The breeze can take the edge off when it's steady, but it rarely qualifies as calm by the site's 8 mph standard. Precip days fall back to 12 in July and August, so rain is less of a concern — heat management is the real challenge.
September is the calmest month in San Antonio at 11.1 mph, and the high backs off to 91°F — meaningful relief after summer. October brings an 83°F average high and 11.2 mph wind, a tick above September but still well below the spring peaks, and precip days drop to 12. Fall as a whole is the most consistently playable stretch of the year.
December through February sees highs in the mid-to-upper 60s — well within the site's 60–80°F ideal range — but winds hold at 11.2 to 12.7 mph. January, February, and December are the driest months, each at 11 precip days, so rain interference is minimal. The main adjustment is that February's 20°F average daily swing means a 47°F morning can feel like a different course than the 67°F afternoon.
October and November offer average highs of 83°F and 71°F — both inside the ideal temperature range — with wind at 11.2 mph, tied for the calmest readings outside September alongside December. December's 66°F average high stays playable and precip days drop to 11, the fewest of any month. Together these three months give you the best combination of manageable wind, comfortable temperatures, and low rain interference.
Yes — every month of the year averages peak winds between 11.1 and 13.9 mph, which puts San Antonio above the site's calm threshold of 8 mph year-round. April is the windiest month at 13.9 mph, and even the calmest month, September, comes in at 11.1 mph. Treating a one-club adjustment as a default, not an exception, is a reasonable approach here.
May is the wettest month with 21 precip days — more than two-thirds of the month sees some measurable precipitation. That's well above the next-wettest months, March and April at 15–16 days. Booking morning tee times in late spring gives you the best chance of finishing before afternoon convective activity develops.
Generally yes — January averages a high of 63°F and February reaches 67°F, both within the site's ideal 60–80°F range. January, February, and December all share the fewest precip days of the year at 11. The main caveat is that February's average low of 47°F can make early morning rounds feel considerably colder than the afternoon, so mid-morning tee times are preferable.
