  Dry season

  1 maj – 31 okt · vanligtvisTrångt

  The southern winter is the trade-wind half of the year: drier air, calmer lagoon, better underwater visibility, and the months the resorts charge the most for exactly that reason.

  The maramu trade wind

  1 jun – 15 sep · vanligtvisVindsäsongRisk

  The southeast maramu blows hardest through the dry months and chops the lagoon most afternoons. Good for the kitesurfers off Matira, less good for a flat-water paddle or a snorkel on the exposed side. Källa ↗

  26 jun – 2 augStor festivalTrångtBoka tidigt

  Weeks of competitive dance, himene singing, outrigger racing and stone lifting on Vaitape's waterfront through July. The island's own event rather than a resort show, and the pensions fill for it. Källa ↗

  Humpback season

  20 jul – 20 nov · vanligtvisValsäsong

  Humpbacks come up from Antarctica to calve in the lee of the islands and stay outside the reef until November. Mid-August to late October is the reliable part, and the swims go from the boat, not the lagoon.

  Cyclone season

  The biting nono sandflies on the motu beaches and the mosquitoes inland are at their worst through the wet months. Repellent barely works on nono; local coconut-oil remedies are the usual workaround. Källa ↗
