Andros Weather by Month
Andros is the largest and least developed island in the Bahamas, offering exceptional sailing waters with the third-largest barrier reef in the world. The climate is warm year-round with highs ranging from 78°F in winter to 90°F in summer. The dry season (December-April) brings ideal sailing conditions with steady 12-16 knot trade winds, mild temperatures, and minimal rainfall. The wet season (May-October) sees increased humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane risk peaking in September. Water temperatures remain swimmable year-round (74-86°F). Andros sees far fewer crowds than Nassau or the Exumas, making it perfect for sailors seeking solitude and world-class bonefishing.
