All Months
December through May delivers Martinique at its finest. Temperatures hover around 80°F with minimal rainfall and steady trade winds. This dry season coincides with peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and crowded beaches.
June through November brings more rain but also fewer crowds and better deals. Morning showers clear by afternoon most days. Hurricane season officially runs June to November, but major storms rarely hit Martinique directly.
Carnival season in February and March transforms the island. Fort-de-France erupts in colorful parades and street parties. Hotels book solid during this period, so reserve early. The energy is infectious, but expect noise and crowds.
Surf season peaks December through March when Atlantic swells reach their strongest. Water temperatures stay warm year-round—around 80°F—so you'll rarely need more than a rash guard.
