The short answer
When to go to Varca Beach
The best window is November to February, when it is dry, sunny and the sea is usually calm, with shacks open and lifeguards posted. March and April are hotter and more humid. June to September is the monsoon: heavy rain, rough sea, red flags and a ban on swimming and water sports. For older travellers, late November to early February is ideal, with morning and sunset walks and a midday rest indoors.
