The short answer
When to go to Agonda Beach
The best window is November to February, when it is dry and warm, the shacks and cafés are open and the sea is at its calmest. Christmas and New Year are crowded and expensive, so late November or January suits families and older travellers better. March to May is hotter and quieter, with some places closing. June to September is monsoon: swimming is banned, rough seas and heavy rain close most places, and the beach is close to shut. Plan walks for early morning and rest in the afternoon.
