Traveller notes on Shoal Bay
What people who have been say about the place — the year-round notes first, then month by month.
Anguilla-forum threads on March weather split on the wind: one visitor's early-March week ran extremely windy by day, choppy enough that Shoal Bay East got skipped entirely for calmer water elsewhere on the island, while a longtime regular calls the first week of March close to magic, just enough breeze to keep the mosquitoes and no-see-ums away without ruining the beach. Both camps agree on the temperature read - hot but rarely humid, one of the more comfortable stretches of the year to be outside all day. The general consensus lands on March as a strong pick overall despite the wind variability, with the caveat that a windy day can turn the open-water beaches choppier than photos of Anguilla's famously calm bays suggest. The record backs the wind read directly: 28.2C days feeling like 31C, 24.6C nights, 22mm across 8.4 days, a 26.1C sea, 76 percent humidity, 11.1 hours of sun and wind averaging nearly 30 km/h - genuinely breezy by the numbers, exactly as the forum describes.
