JimnKaren Posted September 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Generally the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. There might be some exceptions. Oh, yeah, the water will be wet. Check with the weather sources online to see what history might show. That might be more reliable than people like me. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasbo49 Posted September 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2018 OP, as you've figured out by now, nobody really wants to play weather forecaster for the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I've never made this trip, but from everything I've read (having thought about it for some time), the first few days out and the last few coming back are usually quite cool. I'll go out on a limb, though, about the time in the islands. Weve been there 12-15 times over the years, and that is a real hot time of year in Hawaii. September is their hottest, often most humid month, so early October will likely be uncomfortably hot if you're outdoors or stuck without AC.

Desert Cruizers Posted September 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2018 No way to tell what weather will be like a month from now, I always check the weather forecast for the areas I will be cruising that week. The times I have been to Hawaii have been in the Spring, from So Calif and weather has been beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I wonder if the OP knows, or can figure out, with good accuracy, what the weather will be in their home town 3 or so weeks from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted September 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Nobody can, like I said any ports I will be visiting within a given week, I look up each Port for the time frame right before I leave to get a weekly/10 day forecast. I guess the only thing that can be said traveling to Hawaii, is the weather for the most part is lovely with occasional rain for s short period. Traveling from the West Coast there are those 2 days where the sea can be a little rough and temps cool. I think one of our visits was in Oct and again great weather.

Mud_Shark Posted September 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2018 We sailed this route in October a few years ago. bring hoodies and wind breakers and layers, if you like to be out side or watch MUTS in the evening (first 2 days and last 2 days). For us, it was cool but comfortable for the first two days heading out. Then you could feel the change, and the sun had real warmth. In the shade there was still a coolness on the 3rd day, but sun bathers were out on the deck chairs in the middle of the day. By day 4 - it was just sunny and warm and great - and you needed shade unless you really like the sun. On the way back, we encountered some weather and rougher seas on the final 2 days. Rain. Most people remained indoors, but it was actually quite enjoyable to use the hot tubs in the rain and cool weather - really kind of eerily inviting.

grannyp Posted September 14, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well O.P. looks like you have a lot of humorous people answering. I don't know the weather in Hawaii at that time. But we did this cruise in March and I can tell you the weather on the Pacific was cool, windy, and swells of 15' the first 2 days out, both directions. Have a great time. No one can do anything about the weather, just take layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink845 Posted September 17, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 17, 2018 When is hurricane season on the Pacific coast???? I think it ends at the end of November. So October 4 is right in there!! We have always done cruises in April to /from Vancouver or to from San Francisco re: Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always done cruises in April to /from Vancouver or to from San Francisco re: Hawaii. OK, some clarification here. On the Pacific coast, hurricane season winds down around Oct 1. Hawaii, which is no where near the Pacific coast (and hurricanes go no where near Vancouver) generally gets out of hurricane season before the Pacific Coast.

tanyaewa Posted September 17, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I can tell you that this fall has been very cool and wet in the Vancouver region - we are having record low temps for September with no real likelihood of it getting much warmer or drier. Sometimes there is really lovely late summer, warm, dry weather - this does not seem to be that year. I would prepare for definite wet and cold weather for the first 4 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Musky Ike Posted September 21, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 21, 2018 We are on that same sailing with you, so there will be a ray of sunshine onboard. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaBubba Posted September 22, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We did that cruise a few years ago. Vancouver to Hawaii and back to Longbeach. It was a wonderful cruise. The weather wasn't bad at all. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
