St. Thomas is in a tropical climate with calm seas and consistent trade winds. Wind speeds near St. Thomas average at 10 to 20 knots year-round, and the average north-east swell is around 8–9 feet. Most sailors enjoy the hot and humid climate due to the consistent winds to help cool you off at peak hours. The primary weather concern for sailors is the rainfall and potential for summer and fall hurricanes.
Best Times to Vacation in St. Thomas
