March in Waikiki typically marks the transition from Hawaii’s wetter winter season to the drier summer months. Expect daytime temperatures averaging in the low 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius) with comfortable humidity. Rainfall decreases compared to the preceding months, though brief showers are still possible. Ocean temperatures remain pleasant for swimming and other water activities. This period offers a balance of favorable conditions, appealing to visitors seeking warm, yet less intensely hot, weather.
This transitional period offers unique advantages for travelers. The slightly lower humidity and reduced rainfall compared to winter create a pleasant environment for outdoor exploration, from hiking Diamond Head to enjoying Waikiki Beach. The ocean remains calm and warm, ideal for swimming, surfing, and other water sports. Furthermore, March falls outside the peak tourist season, potentially leading to more availability and competitive pricing for accommodations and activities.
