Being a seaside town, there is a misconception that the only “good” time for holidays in Hermanus is during the summer.
This is true if the purpose of your holiday in Hermanus is sunbathing on the beach, but it’s not at all a true reflection of what Hermanus and all that the surrounding areas have to offer. There is a tantalizing list of reasons to visit this destination in every season. Every time of year has its special features and the heart and culture of the town never dies.
Hermanus’ great beaches and wonderful ocean and lagoons are a prime attraction in the summer with a temperate climate that’s very warm but not painfully hot. Longer days allows outdoor activities to be enjoyed and events like evening concerts in the open air Forest Theater to take place. Christmas and Twilight markets are great to to browse around and the weekly art and craft and food markets of Hermanus in Cristmas summer time are an attraction in their own right. The Hawston Sea Festival usually happens during the first week of December each year. It attracts hundreds of visitors who enjoy the delicious sea foods such as fresh crayfish, perlemoen (abalone), paella and snoek dishes that are on offer, while taking in the entertainment and basking under the sun around the Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Lovely balmy in-between weather during this season make it one of the nicest times to visit Hermanus. The fresh and crisp champagne air with bright blue skies marks the start of winter specials. As the nights become cooler enjoy snuggling up under the open sky while watching the birds take their last drink for the evening.
The month of June is the start of the whale watching season. June also heralds the wonderful 10 day Hermanus Fynarts Festival from the 2nd to the 3rd week of the month. Shark Cage viewing in Gansbaai is at its best during the winter and hotels offer great discounted winter rates. With an average minimum temperature of 10 degrees and maximum average of 23 degrees, this is a great time to visit Hermanus if you don’t mind a few rainy days. Scenically, Hermanus is very beautiful in the winter. Farm fields consist of a patchwork of different hues and shades of greens.
This season is when the Southern Right Whale sightings are at their best. Hermanus’ great annual festival to celebrate the return of the Southern Right Whales in Walker Bay takes place in the spring and is filled with craft and food stalls, days of entertainment, a great atmosphere topped with amazing displays and sightings of the gentle giants of the sea. The Flower Festival in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve which displays the fynbos spring flowers and offers great food, music and crafts for a relaxed celebration can also be enjoyed during this season.
