sashas_mom Posted November 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2017 We’ve always gone to Hawaii in the Fall. Perfect weather sailing and in Hawaii. Celebrating our 40th Anniversary in March and thinking of cruising to Hawaii. What should I expect weather wise? I know every year is different, but a ballpark would be helpful. Should we wait till Fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2017 We've cruise Hawaii this time of year a couple of times and enjoyed very nice weather in Hawaii. As you note you just never can be sure when it comes to weather. First day to day and one half from California the seas were choppy and it was windy but as we made our way towards Hawaii the weather became much nicer.

CruiserBruce Posted November 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If you look on the Hawaii board, you will see the weather changes very little year around. A little warmer and more humid in the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcvt Posted November 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Last time we did Hawaii was in April. Typical cool two first days and last two days but the weather on the islands was wonderful. Would not hesitate to do it again at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we wait till Fall?[/quote']I wouldn’t wait until Fall and in March there’s a better chance of viewing whales. Here’s a description of average March conditions in Maui which would be similar to the other islands. https://www.hawaiiweathertoday.com/trip-planning-weather/#mar March – Spring brings increasingly strong Northeast tradewinds, and more showers on the windward sides from Haiku to Hana, and on the upper West side from Napili to Kaanapali. Kihei and Lahaina are generally warm and sunny. Winter storms lose their influence on Maui later in the month. Tradewinds blow on the average 61% of the time. Surf still up frequently on the North and West shores. Sea water temperature averages about 74 degrees F. March averages for different locations on Maui Lahaina 83-64 F. (28.3C-17.8C) 1.79" of precipitation Hana 79-65 F. (26.1C-18.3C) 9.54" of precipitation Kahului 81-65 F.

DrivesLikeMario Posted November 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2017 March tends to have much less humidity in Hawaii and is a very pleasant time to cruise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted November 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2017 March tends to have much less humidity in Hawaii and is a very pleasant time to cruise there. We took a land trip to Maui in the fall, and it was very humid with very light winds, and we didn't find many restaurants and other places that were air conditioned.

Astro Flyer Posted November 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If someone wants beach weather October is better than in March. However for everything else March is better & my favorite weather here in Maui is winter & spring. Instead of summer & fall temperatures of upper 80s to low 90s the winter upper 70s to low 80s is perfect for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2017 We took a land trip to Maui in the fall, and it was very humid with very light winds, and we didn't find many restaurants and other places that were air conditioned. Curious where you were looking..outdoor cafes? Just spent a week in September, with fairly high humidities (according to the locals). Had no problem with A/C in restaurants.

nukesubsailor Posted November 28, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2017 One thing to keep in mind is how you feel about crowds. March is spring break time and Hawaii will be more crowded than in the fall. I have been to Hawaii 8 times; in October, February, April and March. March was very much the most crowded time.

BJS Posted November 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2017 We lived on the Big Island and can say the weather is definitely the best Feb & March thus more tourists. Each Island has its own climate conditions and things can vary greatly from one to the other and from one side of an island to the other. Like many places weather forecasts are never accurate but one thing you can count on is that it will be warm or very, very hot and humid during the summer and fall.

We also have only seen ones that had none and I can’t take the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJS Posted November 29, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2017 What Can I expect late April?? It varies warm to hot but not as humid as summer. It will depend on what weather conditions you are used to at home on how comfortable you will be. We wore shorts and flip-flops year round and ran the A/C at night even if we did not have it on during the day. It was very strange to have a 90 degree Christmas day.
