Warm, enjoyable temperatures and incredibly long beach days fill the atmosphere. It is a fantastic time for snorkelling and scuba diving - tides are low and wind is scarce. Accommodation prices are at their lowest, and crowds are few. Low Season (December – March) This is the wet season. It is typically hot and humid with pouring rain in the north. Waters from Agnes beach usually bring in jelly fish around November through May. Be careful of these. On the Gold Coast it is a party season, and accommodation books out very quickly.
