It depends on what season you like to go.
- Rainy Season, generally lasts from October/November to February/March and is caracterized by cloudy skies, brief heavy rains and warm temperatures (between 24 and 31 degrees Celsius in Tahiti, and between 21 and 26 degrees in Rapa) with East to North-East lizés alizés.
- Dry Season since rain is rare, usually lasts from April/May to September, and temperatures are refreshed by the South-East alizés and particularly the "mara'amu" (temperatures between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius in Tahiti, between 15 and 20 degrees in Rapa).
As we move towards the South West islands, the level of annual rainfall increases: Ua Huka in the Marquesas (although close to the Equator) has the lowest rainfall with an average of 800mm per year; at the opposite, Rapa in the Australs islands (the southernmost archipelago) has about 2500mm of rain per year! In general, islands (with mountains) get more rain.
During the Rainy Season, tropical depressions can occur mostly with a South East course. If they become tropical "cyclones" or hurricanes (rare occurence since the last ones at the beginning of the 1980s), winds can reach a speed of 220 km/hr and create great damages.
The water temperature is mostly constant ranging between a pleasant 26 and 29 degrees Celsius.
