Best Time to Visit North Ward #

Best weather is December-April: drier, sunnier and calmer seas for beaches and snorkeling. June-November brings higher humidity, heavy showers and elevated hurricane risk-plan and insure accordingly.

Dry Season

December - April · 24-31 °C (75-88 °F)

Sunny, breezy days and calm seas are ideal for snorkeling, diving, and beach time; resorts busy, so book popular tours and rentals well in advance.

Wet Season

May - November · 24-31 °C (75-88 °F)

Afternoon and overnight showers raise humidity but often pass quickly; still excellent underwater visibility between storms if you schedule activities around weather windows.

Hurricane Season

June - November · 24-31 °C (75-88 °F)

Peak risk for tropical storms and stronger swells-travel insurance, flexible bookings, and careful monitoring of forecasts are essential during these months.
