The only guarantee regarding the weather in Bora Bora is that it will be wetter and more humid in the summer months and cooler with more breeze in the winter months.

The Tahitian winter is the best weather in Bora Bora if you prefer less heat, humidity and like the idea of the trade winds cooling everything down.

If you want to save money, are on a budget, enjoy hot tropical weather, or want to avoid high tourist season, then the best time to go to Bora Bora is in the low season or shoulder season in Bora Bora.
