How soon can you leave? With year-round temperatures rarely straying far from 80˚F, Hawaii’s climate is always welcoming. Even the hotter summer months are cooled by trade winds, and the ocean averages a pleasant 75˚F. Though wind and rainstorms are more common in winter, they usually pass through the islands quickly and without incident. Hawaii’s mountainous regions and valleys are often rainy and damp, though weather is localized and beachgoers are almost always able to find sunny patches on the drier, leeward sides of the islands. Depending on the focus of your vacation, there may be specific times when you should travel. Winter is surf season, when hardcore board riders and their groupies make the pilgrimage to Oahu’s North Shore for the biggest waves of the year. Families with young children should consider a summer vacation, when swimming conditions are generally safer and plenty of other kids are guaranteed to be playing in the surf. Whale-watching season (January-March) and wind-surfing season (June-August) might also affect traveling decisions. Hawaii has two high seasons, December through April and June through August, so budget travelers might book a cheaper accommodation during the other months. Plane tickets are consistently expensive though a search in September might yield a deal.
