Spanish villan Posted September 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) San francisco - Honalulu. Can anyone advise on weather for a 5 day crossing on above route in February? I know frisco can be cold and damp, just don't want 5 days at sea below deck. Thanks in advance:D Edited September 1, 2018 by Spanish villan Route not mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Commonly discussed here the first two days can be rougher and cooler, warming as you approach Hawaii. Hawaii is always pleasant. You are sailing in winter from California, although if you go in later February, it can start to dry out, and get more sun. There is a Frisco in Texas, and one in Colorado- neither are cruise ports. There is no Frisco in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted September 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Weather in San Francisco can be unpredictable at best. We have had sunny and warm (long sleeve no jacket) and bone chilling cold in SF in January. Sailing the CA coast is some of the roughest seas you will encounter. We have never sailed W/B only N/B from Panama to SF and it was very rough the last night. BTW: no "Frisco" in CA and no "Honalulu" in HI. But have a great time where ever you go. I am looking at a 28 day RT SF - Tahiti in 2020. So please come back and let us know how the seas were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2018 As mentioned odds are that seas are a little rough those first couple of days and windy outside and a bit cool. Could be rainy. As you get closer to Hawaii it starts to warm and seas usually calmer. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted September 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Heh, heh,heh…...I lived in San Francisco for almost 10 years and yes, I shudder every time I hear someone refer to it as 'Frisco'. No one who lives there calls the city by the bay 'Frisco'. Almost an insult. That being said, I always wore a coat to work in the morning, sat in the sun at lunchtime then put the coat on after the 3pm fog rolled in. Our Feb. cruise to Hawaii will be a combination of layers of clothing, some being peeled off day by day. I moved to Florida after San Francisco....needed some warm air and no seasons.

SadieN Posted September 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Did not fret about bringing some warm clothes. You’ll need them if you go to Volcanoes NP or the top of other high volcanoes. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
