November is the first month of Hawaii´s winter season called ’Hooilo’. But don´t worry, winter on
Hawaii still means beautifully warm
daytime temperatures of around 80°F. Nighttime
lows drop to around 70°F. And also the ocean still has an inviting
water temperature of 79°F. As the rainy season gets closer to its peak, which will be in December, the number of
rainy days is 9 now. Note though that most of the
rain on Hawaii falls at nighttime - so you can still enjoy beautiful sunny vacation days with
7 hours of sun.
Crowd-wise, November is a great month to visit until Thanksgiving, when more tourists start to visit for a vacation. If you like to run yourself along a the scenic coast of Kailuia-Kona or watch the runners, note that November sees the
100% Pure Kona Coffee Marathon and Half Marathon.

In the winter season temperatures reach from 68°F to 81°F and the trade winds are slightly stronger. This time of the year is ideal for surfers who love the higher waves.
