Climate
January to April it’s hot and the sun is relentless, with some sudden showers. May to July and October to December is cloudier; August and September it’s often cloudy and cool, and a stiff breeze makes the waters choppier. High and Low seasons reflect demand rather than the best time to go. Many boats are in dry dock in September.

Wildlife
In terms of the behaviour of the wildlife, different species have different breeding seasons, and whenever you choose to go, there will be something interesting going on.
