There are no “best months.” You can look up their current value at treasurydirect.gov.

If you redeem an EE Savings Bond before it is 5 years old, you will lose 3 months of accrued interest.
You can go to this webpage to determine the current value of your bonds:
If you are not going to hold a Savings Bond until maturity date the best time to redeem:
First- After it is at least 5 years old then Second - After an accrual date.
