Little Andaman in August
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Little Andaman in August is July with marginally less rain and the same broken access. Rainfall settles at 460-510mm, the directorate of shipping ferry runs 2-3 sailings across the full month at most, and cancellation rates above 70 percent. Surf at Butler Bay remains storm-sized and unsafe. White Surf and Whisper Wave trails are still impassable - the steep sections washed out by the heavy July rain. Hut Bay operates at minimum services - 8-hour power cuts, 4 of the 5 small guesthouses shut for the season, basic food only. The Onge Tribal Reserve permit office in Port Blair stops processing applications in August. Wait for November.
