The short answer

When to go to Vagator Beach

The best months are November to February, with dry, sunny days, a calmer sea and lifeguards on duty. March to May is hotter and more humid, and shacks begin to close towards the end. June to September is the monsoon, when swimming and coastal water sports are prohibited and rocks are slippery. For older travellers, January and February offer the most comfortable balance, but December and the New Year are crowded and costly.
