What you gain in June
- ↑The southeast trades establish fully in June, and the east-facing beaches — Anse Intendance and Anse Takamaka on Mahé, Grand Anse on Praslin — are now calm and sheltered; these beaches, inaccessible and rough in January–March, are at their finest from June through September
- ↑June is the first genuinely affordable month in Seychelles: prices drop below the moderate range for the first time since October, and some properties offer off-season rates that are remarkable relative to the January peaks; the beaches are as good as ever on the east coasts
- ↑La Digue in June: the island's most famous beach, Anse Source d'Argent (consistently ranked among the world's best), is on the west coast and partially sheltered year-round by an offshore reef; even in the trade wind season the beach retains swimmable conditions at low tide, and La Digue in June is less busy than at any other time
What you sacrifice
- ↓The west-coast beaches that define the classic Seychelles postcard image — Anse Lazio, Beau Vallon, Anse Georgette — are exposed to the southeast trades and experience rough swell and wind from June through September; swimming at these beaches in June is possible in sheltered sections but the conditions are not the flat, glassy calm of the monsoon season
- ↓Water temperature drops slightly to 27°C in the trade wind season — still warm by any European standard but cooler than the 29–30°C of the northwest monsoon period; snorkelling is still comfortable but the warmest-water experiences are in January–April
- ↓Trade winds in the Seychelles are consistent but can be strong — June can see 20–25 knot sustained winds that make kayaking and paddleboard activities physically demanding; boat trips to outer islands can be bumpy in the inter-island channels
