Weather and Ocean Conditions

The Big Island enjoys sunny weather and pleasant temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s F. throughout the year with the Kona Coast and Kohala Coast located on the drier western side of the island and the Hilo side seeing more rain which creates its lush, tropical landscapes and slightly cooler temperatures. Evening temperatures may drop about five to ten degrees. Higher elevation areas like the summit of Kilauea Volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the mountainous regions of Kona Coffee Country see slightly cooler temperatures though during the daytime these areas also are typically quite warm.

For much of the year the Kona Coast and Kohala Coast have fairly calm waters great for swimming and other activities, as do other areas of the island. Ocean conditions on the Big Island can change from day to day and through the seasons, however, and intermittent swells can bring big surf and strong currents including winter swells from the north and summer swells from the south affecting the respective coastlines. Some beaches are more protected than others from the open sea providing good areas for snorkeling and other beach activities. For swimming and water sports visit lifeguarded beaches and check with the water safety personnel about the safest areas for the ocean activities of your choice. Lessons and guided tours are also a great way to stay safe during your adventures and benefit from local knowledge.
