The short answer
When to go to Morjim Beach
The best months are November to February, with dry, sunny days, a calm sea and lifeguards on duty; this is also the olive ridley nesting season. March to May is hotter and more humid, and shacks begin to close towards the end. June to September is the monsoon, when sea swimming and coastal water sports are prohibited. For older travellers, January and February offer the most comfortable balance, but December and the New Year are crowded and costly.
