Best time to visit Faaa
French Polynesia · 20-year averages
September is the best month in Faaa, scoring 84 out of 100, with March the weakest at 61. The 23-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs May to September — 5 months within ten points of the best.
March is the warmest month at 27.8 °C and August the coolest at 25.7 °C — a 2.1 °C spread across the year. It never reaches 30 °C in an average year, which takes heat off the list of reasons to avoid any particular month.
There is a real wet season here. January, February, March and December carry the rain — up to 24 wet days in a month — while June to September drop as low as 10. That 14-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Faaa, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 26.4 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight runs from 11.1 hours in winter to 13.2 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are September, August, July. The one to think twice about is March. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
