    Seas near 2.5 ft and 15 mph of wind — fine offshore in a big hull, unpleasant in a small one.

  • SwimmingGood

    Water at 83°F, surf around 2.5 ft. Comfortable for a long swim.

  • SnorkelingFair

    Chop near 2.5 ft stirs sand and cuts visibility. Pick a lee shore.

Plan around it

What to do with the weather you have got

The forecast is only useful if it changes the plan. These are the Maui pages that match each kind of day.

Indoor and under-cover plans that do not depend on the sky clearing.

On the water and in it — the things a calm, warm day is actually for.

Maui's climate, season by season

Today's forecast tells you what to wear. This tells you when to come.

Maui runs its warmest in summer (June – August), averaging 89°F by day and 71°F overnight. Winter (December – February) is the other end of it: highs around 82°F, lows near 65°F. That is a 24-degree spread between the hottest afternoon and the coldest night of a typical year, which is why the same packing list does not work twice here. Visitor numbers track it closely — summer is full, fall is quiet — so the cheapest weather is rarely the most comfortable weather.

Book around it

Rainy Days suit conditions like today's

Departures cancel for weather, not for forecasts. Check the operator's own cancellation terms before you book on a marginal day.

Booking through these earns us a commission from Viator. You pay the same, and payment did not decide what is listed.

Shared departures

Per-seat pricing, fixed departure times, and other people on the boat. For one or two of you this is almost always the right call.
