During High Season, ( October - June ) the winds come from the north east and White Beach is protected. The wind blows out to sea, leaving the beach pristinely clean and generally calm. It is also winter in the northern hemisphere, and tourists come in numbers in search of sun, heat, beach and party. Low Season, ( July - September ) is when the winds changes and blow from the south west into White Beach. A heaven for windsurfers and kite - boarders. There is more rain than usual, but there are also fewer tourists, and better prices on accommodations. The Peak Season is when the tourists are at their height. This includes Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, and Holy Week (Easter Week). Some resorts have a +10% to +25% premium on their rooms, and the island gets fully booked. Make sure you book as far in advance as possible.
