Climate and when to go

Of all the major US cities, Honolulu is said to have both the lowest average maximum temperature and the highest minimum, at 85 degrees F and 60 degrees F respectively. Neither fluctuates more than a few degrees between summer and winter. Waikiki remains a balmy tropical year-round resort, and the only seasonal variation likely to make much difference to travelers is the state of the surf on the North Shore. For surfers, the time to come is from October to April, when mighty winter waves scour the sand off many beaches and come curling in at heights of twenty feet or more. In summer, the surf-bums head off home, and some North Shore beaches are even safe for family swimming.

As for room rates, peak season in Waikiki runs from December to March, and many mid-range hotels lower their prices by ten or twenty dollars at other times. Waikiki is pretty crowded all year, though, and there are few savings to be made by coming in summer.
