Is October too cold for beach?

In October the ocean temps can be quite warm BUT if there's a hurricane the ocean temp can drop by 10 degrees instantly. The mid/end of Sept. ocean temp w/out hurricanes is about 87 degrees. It starts to cool off and probably should be about 80 degrees in early/mid October, depending on hurricanes.
