What the community said
Mid to late December on Mahe can bring overcast skies, rain, and choppy seas. It's not the most reliable month for beach holidays, though sunny days do occur. First-time visitors are better off choosing a calmer season.
1 day ago December — unstable season
Early November in the Seychelles is generally a good time to visit: the ocean is warm, seaweed is usually minimal, and plankton blooms are not a typical concern during this period.

Late June on Mahe carries some seaweed risk depending on currents and wind — hard to predict in advance. To minimise the issue, opt for sheltered beaches on the west or north coast rather than those exposed to the southeast trade winds.
