When to Visit
Dec-Apr
San Sebastián festival in mid-January fills Old San Juan, and trade winds keep beach days at Flamenco on Culebra at their most pleasant.
May-Jul
Brief afternoon showers but otherwise excellent. Bioluminescence at Mosquito Bay is at its strongest, and crowds drop sharply after Easter.
Aug-Oct
Peak hurricane season with September the highest-risk month. Rates drop but trip insurance is essential and routes can disrupt without warning.
Nov
Hurricane season tailing off, dry season returning, and the surf season on the west coast around Rincon ramping up for serious swells.
