We always stay the last 10 days or January and noticed last year that the winds were the calmest we had in at least 5 years. We are hoping for the same this year as it was very enjoyable.
Beach soon come

We were mid-Feb last year and the winds howled every day.

Anyone know how the winds are in early June? Also, how about the winds at Dreams/Le Sand in June?

Was there also today. Calm winds. Two periods of light rain that scared some away. Stretch of single chairs is crazy but beach in front of Club O was fine. Busy day.

Last Sunday it was very windy, but by Tuesday, Jan. 5, it was only a light breeze, sooo nice ( I got sunburned ). We flew back the next day, and security at Juliana was chaotic - we just made our flight. At least part of the problem was caused by a closed security lane - there were 4 lanes, but only 3 were staffed.

There was hardly any wind at all on Sat when we arrived and today the same. Not complaining. It is usually a lot windier and bigger waves in January. It is a gorgeous day here today!

We go every June from usually the 1st of June for three weeks. It can go either way. We've had beautiful breezy days, but also very windy ones where we had to turn the loungers around with our backs to the water to avoid being sand or salt blasted.
