When to Go
The weather is perfect. Sun is always shining. You can easily wear only shorts and lycra shirt, but you can get burned very easily. Aruba is warm all year, 28-32°C. At night it doesn't cool down at all, it's only the sun missing, but the wind stays, so it can get a little chilly. You can count on some hotter days during the summer month (July-September). Aruba is mostly dry, even in the rainy season, the rain doesn't really last longer than 10 min. The water temperature is around 27°C, so forget your wetsuit.
What to Expect
The water is great. Some small waves coming in the bay, which is protected by a reef, on which waves are breaking. Not great waves, but good to go riding. Strong swimming skills are a must. Look out for the reefs in the water. Be aware of their position and keep distance, since they can get shallow and you can hit them.
