The sea in Agonda varies throughout the season, some days are calm and on occasion the waves can be large. People do swim in the sea in Agonda and we recommend that you are cautious as you should be on any beach. There is also the added protection of several lifeguards along the beach. For swimming with children, it can be calmer at either end of the beach.
The weather is different every season, it used to be much more predictable as did everywhere in the world. We do recommend that you research the weather conditions for the time you plan to travel. Our cottages do not have A/C but as they have high roofs, which are insulated with coconut palms, they remain amongst the coolest cottages on the beach.
