Anse Source d'Argent in August

April, May, October, and November give you the best of everything - calm seas, minimal rain, and temperatures in the perfect 26-28°C range. The southeast trades die down during these months, which means the water at Anse Source d'Argent turns glassy instead of choppy. May is particularly magical. The tourist crowds thin out after Easter, hotel rates drop slightly, and you'll have those famous granite boulders mostly to yourself for sunrise photos. October marks the start of the northwest season, bringing occasional afternoon showers that cool things down and create dramatic cloud formations over the rocks. Avoid June through September unless you enjoy fighting strong winds and rough seas. December through March brings the northwest monsoon - lots of rain, high humidity, and the occasional cyclone threat. But here's a secret: even the 'bad' months have their moments. Early morning at Anse Source d'Argent is stunning regardless of season, and the light during rain showers creates incredible photo opportunities.
