Winter in Bimini (December to February)
Winter is Bimini’s glow-up season.
Expect daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s with lower humidity and refreshing trade winds. Rainfall is minimal, the skies stay bright, and the ocean remains comfortably warm. This is peak season for a reason, especially for Sailors escaping colder climates.
Why Sailors love it

- Cooler evenings for alfresco dinners
- Prime conditions for snorkeling and sailing
Spring in Bimini (March to May)
Spring is where Bimini really starts flirting.
Temperatures rise into the low to mid-80s, the water warms even more, and the island feels energized but not crowded. Rain is still light, and the days stretch long and golden.
Why Sailors love it
- Ideal balance of warmth and breeze
- Fewer crowds, same sparkle
- Beach days that roll effortlessly into sunset cocktails
Summer in Bimini (June to August)
Summer brings the heat, the humidity, and unapologetic main-character energy.
Highs often reach the upper 80s to around 90°F, and the ocean feels downright indulgent. Afternoon rain showers pop up from time to time, but they are usually short-lived. Think dramatic clouds, a quick rinse, then straight back to sunshine.

Rain, storms, and tropical season
Bimini’s rainy season generally runs from June through October. Most rain comes in short, passing showers rather than all-day washouts. A burst of rain often clears the air and makes the sunshine feel even brighter afterward.
Hurricane season officially overlaps these months, with the highest activity typically between August and October. Direct impacts are uncommon, and Virgin Voyages monitors conditions closely to ensure Sailors experience smooth, safe sailings.
Bottom line: the island keeps its cool, and the sun usually wins.
Ocean temperature and water conditions
If the sea is your love language, Bimini speaks it fluently.
Ocean temperatures stay between the mid-70s and mid-80s Fahrenheit year-round. Visibility is excellent most days, particularly in winter and spring, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and floating with zero agenda.
This is exactly why the Bimini Beach Club has become such an icon.
