  Bioluminescent bay nights

  1. jan – 31. desSelvlysende havBestill tidlig

  Laguna Grande at Fajardo glows all year, but only on the dark nights: operators sell by moon phase, and a full moon washes it out entirely. Rain in the week before also thins it.

  Four nights that shut Old San Juan to traffic and close out the island's Christmas: cabezudos in the morning, artisans on Calle Norzagaray, and cobbles packed shoulder to shoulder after dark. Rooms in the old city go by autumn. Kilde ↗

  Sargassum drift

  1. apr – 31. aug · vanligvisSargassosesong

  Hurricane season

  Maria came ashore in September 2017 and the island still plans around that month. The statistical peak is the first fortnight of September; June and November rarely deliver anything, and rates in those weeks show it. Kilde ↗

• Sesong

  Cruise season in the old city

  1. nov – 30. apr · vanligvisMye folk

  San Juan is a homeport as well as a stop, so the old city takes both turnaround passengers and day callers through the winter. The blue cobbles are worth walking before ten or after five. Kilde ↗

• Sesong

  Winter north swell

  15. nov – 31. mar · vanligvisSurfesesongRisiko

  North Atlantic storms send swell onto the whole north coast through the winter, which is when the surf towns west of the city work and when the city beaches fly rip current flags.

• Helligdag

  The long Christmas season

  19. nov – 24. janJul og nyttårMye folk

  Parrandas start after Discovery Day in November and the season refuses to end at New Year: Three Kings on 6 January, then the Octavitas, then SanSe closes it in the third week of January. Two months of it. Kilde ↗
