| rowing11:20 UTC16 Jun 2009 | Hi!!!!!!!
Does anyone know water’s temperature for swim in October to Tonga?
I will need a “wetsuit” (not diving-suit but only “t-shirt wetsuit”) for snorkeling in that month???
And then, could anyone advise me a lovely beach for snorkeling in Tongatapu? (with sand beach and no danger tidal current)??
Thanks!

Have only snorkeled from Sunset and Fafa islands off Tongatapu, did not see any suitable beach near our hotel on Tongatapu itself.

As for good snorkelling beaches on Tongatapu - I don't think so. The only good sand beach from memory is where the surfing tourists go.
You need to get off Tongatapu for a good snorkelling beach.

Try this web site- current temps and they may have a way of looking at other times of the year.
