What August feels like
August is when the tour guides start quietly counting down to October. The tropics wake up this month and stay awake through September, so keep half an eye on the forecast if you are booking a week you cannot move.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 84° — bath-warm.
