What to pack

What December feels like

December is the island's wettest month and the start of the season people plan whole trips around; snorkel in the channel and you can hear the males singing through the water. The holiday fortnight is the busiest and priciest stretch of the year, and Jaws on the north shore can go off with almost no warning.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 77° — comfortable for swimming.
