St Barts’ enviable climate is warm and tropical year round. It’s boardshorts all year with water temperatures around 25-28°C (77-82°F). The best surf season is definitely October to April – with November to February offering the best chance of larger Winter groundswells. During Summer, waves are sporadic - there’s often a small wave but flat spells are a certainty. It’s also advisable to avoid hurricane season (June to October) due to the risk of impact or the high likelihood of rain. Overall, if you can visit between November and March/April this would give you the best chance of surf.
