Weather
April transitions toward drier weather but remains unpredictable. Rainfall decreases but humidity stays high around 80%. Trade winds start picking up, providing some relief from the sticky air.

April Tips
- •Snorkeling improves as water clarity returns after wet season
- •Shoulder season pricing kicks in mid-month
- •Pack layers as evenings can feel cooler with stronger winds
All Months
Tahiti's dry season from May through October delivers the most reliable weather, with trade winds keeping temperatures comfortable and rainfall minimal. July and August see the most visitors and highest prices, but also the most consistent conditions. The shoulder months of May, June, September, and October offer the sweet spot — good weather without peak crowds. November through April brings the wet season, with higher humidity, frequent afternoon showers, and cyclone risk from December to March. But here's the thing: even wet season has its perks. Hotel rates drop significantly, the island stays lush and green, and morning hours often stay clear. If you're planning around specific activities, surf season peaks from April to October, while diving visibility stays excellent year-round. Festival season runs from June to August, with Heiva I Tahiti in July showcasing traditional Polynesian culture through dance, music, and sports competitions.
