Cruise from Long Beach to Hawaii in January

[dorisdvu]

What are the seas like to sail in January? What is temperature?

[CruiserBruce]

Seas can be rough any time, anywhere,  and are not predictable more than a few days ahead.

 

There are many threads here saying the first couple of days off the West Coast (and the last couple of days coming back) can be rougher, and the temps cooler.

The first day and a half the air temperatures are cooler, mid 60s or so, but that doesn't stop people from laying out and using the pools. By day three is warm, mid 70s and higher.

 

We've don't the trip four times now (cruises, not counting my early experiences on Matson and President Lines in the 1950s and 60s) and it has never been what I would consider too rough.

 

My parents did a Hawaii round trip on HAL out of San Diego about 15 years, maybe a bit longer, and the seas weren't rough per se, but the ship was rocking too much to reliably hold the TV Satellite signal, but ships and satellites have both improved since then.
