Hurricane season (Crooked/Acklins)
22° 43.3′ N · 73° 53.0′ W · approximate
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, peaking around September 10, and the remote southern Bahamas sit squarely in the track of storms heading for the Turks and Caicos, Hispaniola and Florida; there is no recognised hurricane hole in this group.
Practical
Position approximate (Attwood Harbour). Most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, though storms sometimes form outside the official season. With no haul-out and only one small marina, most cruisers leave the area by June or keep a short run open to a safer base. Monitor NHC outlooks by satellite.
