The one thing that doesn't really change is under the waves. Saint Lucia guarantees top class scuba anytime of the year.
The Seasonal Factor
Saint Lucia has a warm, tropical climate year-round, but the best time to visit is from December to May, when the weather is at its driest and most pleasant. This period, known as the high season, brings higher rates and more tourists.
For those seeking a more peaceful and budget-friendly experience, the shoulder seasons of May-June or September-November are ideal.
These off-peak times in Saint Lucia offer tranquility and affordability. They allow you to relax and enjoy the island at your own pace, away from the hustle and bustle of the high season.

And at Christmas, the transition from the wet to dry season is complete.
The Tropical Factor
The Windward Islands experience tropical weather with warm temperatures and seasonal rainfall. From January to April, the weather is typically dry and more relaxed, with average temperatures ranging from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F). This period is often considered the best time to visit, as visitors can enjoy clear skies and pleasant breezes.
Temperatures
As May arrives, temperatures rise, leading into the wet season from June to November. During these months, rain showers become more frequent, often occurring in short bursts, but the overall warmth remains, with temperatures averaging between 25°C to 32°C (77°F to 90°F). The hurricane season peaks from August to October, bringing more intense weather systems, although it's not every year severe storms are seen. It is this time when our live webcam comes into its own.

Always remember we have our webcam on the beach, so at any time you can check on us and the weather.
Trade Winds
The Windward Islands, situated east of the Caribbean Sea, are the first landmass the trade winds encounter. These easterly winds flow consistently from the northeast, significantly influencing the islands' weather patterns. They determine the distribution of rainfall and contribute to the islands' lush vegetation and overall tropical feel.
The reliable nature of these trade winds made the islands strategic locations for maritime navigation, thereby playing a crucial role in their history and development.
The Weather's Bounty
And think of what we can enjoy because these islands are tropical rainforests. Delicious Mangoes, Bananas, Melon, Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Guava, Papaya, & Avocados are as big as footballs.
