Traveller notes on Capri in March
Other months in Capri
September on Capri is still swimming weather — the forum puts the sea around 25°C and posters report getting in the water on every September trip unless it was actually raining. Shorts by day, a light jacket or sweater in the evening once the air eases back from a high near 24°C. On crowds it's a month of two halves: the island is packed daily from mid-June to early September, then late September thins noticeably, and weekday day-trips stay quiet because local day-trippers come mainly at weekends. One local caution — jellyfish turn up some years and have been exceptionally bad in a few; beach clubs keep sting spray.
Capri's forum is unanimous that July means heat and real crowds on the main island — regulars consistently point toward Anacapri instead for a noticeably calmer version of the same views. The ferry from Sorrento gets specific mention too: buy a return ticket and queue about 30 minutes early, or risk being stuck for the next crossing.
