Little Andaman in April
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Intense heat and humidity make April challenging unless you're chasing the season's best swell
Little Andaman in April is when the surf still fires but the heat starts hitting. Daytime 28-32C, humidity 81 percent, rainfall 80-110mm in evening squalls. The directorate of shipping ferry from Phoenix Bay drops to 5 weekly sailings - check the schedule before booking the Port Blair leg. Surf at Kumari and Butler Bay is still on - 1.5-2 metre swell, water 30C. The waterfall walks (White Surf 2km, Whisper Wave 5km) need 5am starts to get back before midday heat. Guesthouses at year-low rates of 700-1,000 rupees per night. The Onge Tribal Reserve permit rules are unchanged. Hut Bay has no functional ATM; bring 15,000 rupees minimum.
