Seychelles in August

Active island days and breezy beaches

The short answer

August is a reasonable month in Seychelles — with trade-offs.

August remains relatively dry, but southeast trade winds can be strong. Sheltered locations can still offer excellent beach time, while exposed shores may be less comfortable.
