The short answer
When to go to Bogmalo Beach
The best window is November to February, when the days are dry and warm and the sea is calm in the morning, with shacks and water sports open. March to May is hotter and more humid, with many places closing, and June to September is the monsoon, when sea swimming is banned and most beach businesses shut. For older travellers, late November or January avoids the Christmas peak, and mornings are the most comfortable hours.
