Oahu's different seasons

Most people that Hawaii only has 1 season but in actuality, when you go can mean a lot, especially if you are a surfer.

Do you know how to differentiate between Oahu’s winter and summer months?

A key point of seasonal differentiation is the surf. Oahu’s winter surf averages 6-12 feet, but can reach as high as 25-35 feet. Oahu’s North Shore beaches take on a very different personality between seasons.

In the winter, the North Shore beaches are pounded with large surf and are not swimmable.

In contrast, during summer months you can float in a raft and drift with the gentle winds.

Hawaii’s summer: May-September
Hawaii’s winter: November-March.
