Rodrigues in March
Not the best time
March offers a slight reprieve from peak summer heat, but you're still dealing with uncomfortable humidity levels. The reduced tourist numbers mean better deals, but the weather remains challenging for outdoor activities.
Weather
March starts cooling down slightly but still delivers plenty of heat and humidity. Rain becomes less predictable but more intense when it hits. The trade winds pick up strength, offering better relief from the sticky conditions.

March Tips
- •Take advantage of fewer crowds at Caverne Patate and Île aux Cocos
- •Pack a light rain jacket for sudden downpours
- •Book diving trips early in the morning when seas are calmest
All Months
April through November is prime time. The weather stays dry, temperatures hover around 25°C, and trade winds keep things comfortable. But here's the thing — different months suit different travelers.
April and May offer the calmest seas for diving and snorkeling. The lagoon is like glass, perfect for spotting rays and reef sharks. June through September brings stronger winds that make kitesurfing and windsurfing incredible, especially at Mourouk Beach where international competitions happen.
October and November give you the best of both worlds — decent winds for water sports but calm enough for beach days. December through March is cyclone season. The island rarely gets direct hits, but rain can wash out entire days and rough seas cancel boat trips.
