Outstanding

↑Excellent dry-season weather with 15–20% lower prices than August: September gives essentially the same conditions as July–August with a meaningful cost reduction as the Australian school holiday influx ends
↑Whale season extending into September: humpback encounters remain available throughout the month, with sightings becoming slightly less predictable toward the end as the migration moves on
↑Trade winds easing slightly: the SE trades moderate through September, improving conditions on windward beaches and reducing choppiness on island transfers

↓70mm of rain starting to nudge up from August's 58mm: September is still very much the dry season, but the occasional isolated shower is more likely than in August
↓Whale encounters less predictable toward late September: operators can no longer guarantee sightings as the migration moves south — earlier in the month is better
↓Visibility at dive sites marginally below August peak: the very best conditions are in July–August; September is excellent but slightly behind the peak
