The short answer
When to go to Narayan Sarovar
The best window is November to February, with dry, clear days and cool evenings that suit the temples, the sanctuary and sunset at Koteshwar. October and March are workable if you start early. April to June is very hot and dusty, and July to September is humid, with a risk of flooded low roads. Older travellers should avoid midday and the big fair days in Chaitra and Kartik. The climate figures are from Bhuj, so the coast itself may feel more humid and breezy.
