Waves breaking on the reef. The island sits on the edge of the tropics, and the weather varies little, with mild, spring-like conditions for most of the year, tempered by the ocean. The biggest variation is from mid-November to mid-April, when it is warm and humid, as opposed to 'winter', from July to August, which is spring-like. Average maximum temperatures vary from 22°C to 28°C (71°F to 82°F). The cyclone season runs from December to March, but woolly weather can show up for a month on either side of that. Generally, though, the seasons alter little, and even the number of daylight hours is stable, from 6 am to 6 pm year-round. Water: Flat, Chop, Mediumwave. Features: School, Rescue, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
