Conditions stay comfortable and largely sunny, with the wind keeping exposed coasts choppy and seaweed on southeast-facing beaches. North-coast beaches remain the better swimming bet. The winds ease slightly toward late August in some years.
Whale shark season begins around August and runs into November — a draw for divers and snorkellers willing to join boat trips off Mahé.
La Digue holds a festival around mid-August (the Feast of the Assumption), a lively cultural highlight on the island. It remains a busy, higher-priced part of the season overlapping European holidays, so book ahead. Plan beaches around the wind as in July.
