High season from July to October

November to February is the cyclone season, although they are rather rare in this region. Outside this period, which is always critical for sailing, you can go to Polynesia whenever you like. The winds blow at 15 to 25 knots from March to October, which makes this the most pleasant time for sailing. At any rate, most renters, in Polynesia, stay in the lagoons and only rarely venture to make overly long crossings. There’s enough to see and do near the rental areas, not have to try your stamina in the Pacific swell...
