A Green Point holiday is best experienced during summertime from December to February. Temperatures peak during this time, which is also the most popular period to visit. Expect busy beaches, a vibrant nightlife, and gloriously festive cheer. By February most visitors head home, which also means uncrowded beaches until April. Then, from about June to August, Cape Town and the Western Cape experiences winter rainfall.
