About HawaiiGuide. HawaiiGuide is an independent, family-run Hawaii travel guide and planning platform, run by John and Tori Derrick. It grew out of John's first trip to Hawaiʻi in 2002 and began publishing under the HawaiiGuide name in 2003. Island-by-island guidance and original maps connect with planning tools, live-condition dashboards, saved trips, and audio to help visitors prepare for a trip and adjust while on island.

Mostly dry skies across Oʻahu right now with good visibility. Light showers are holding to the windward side, nothing heavy.
Today and Thursday stay dry on the leeward and south shores. Trade winds are moderate now and strengthen to breezy by Thursday. Starting Friday, moisture increases and showers become more frequent on windward and inland areas — leeward beaches stay mostly dry but winds build noticeably. Small craft advisories are possible Thursday night in windier waters, then conditions get rougher Friday through the weekend. North and west shore swell holds medium through Friday, then rebuilds over the weekend. South shore swell drops back to normal after today.
Leeward beaches and snorkel spots work best Thursday while conditions stay calmer. Plan water sports in the channels for earlier in the week, before Friday's winds arrive.
