CruiserBruce Posted January 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Commonly discussed here, and on the West Coast Departures board that the first two days from the West Coast, and the last 2 days arriving back at the West Coast are cooler and rougher. Warmer and smoother as you get closer to the islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshlong Posted January 16, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thank you! I'll plan the packing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty9 Posted January 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Can anyone tell me if there is a better month to cross the ocean. One less rough than another month. It's been a number of years but we crossed in March and it was quite rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The seas can't be predicted. If you have an issue with sea sickness, you must be prepared every day you are on a ship. I would never expect any particular month to be smoother or rougher- that is totally unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapoho2 Posted January 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2017 We cruised from San Diego to Hawaii in May and the first two or three sea days out of San Diego were very cool. Many folks did not have the appropriate clothes. Then it warmed up nicely. As I remember, the seas were never rough during the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted January 30, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Sea conditions aren't based on time of year as you'll be crossing a current off of the coast of California. We've been on three holiday time RTs LA to Hawaii (so departures around Dec. 19 or so) and the weather and sea conditions were different for each time. First time, rough and cool on the way to Hawaii, warm (even near LA as they were having a warm spell) and smooth on the way back. Second time, rainy the first few days. Third time, some rain on the way there and back. when you get closer to the islands, it should be warmer (seems to be in the late 70s there and you could get rain -- it was pouring the whole day our last time in Hilo, but that's normal).

I would never expect any particular month to be smoother or rougher- that is totally unrealistic. I agree with Bruce... not only it can very from cruise to cruise but also from day to day. We sailed from 1/4-1/19/17 and most days the sea wasn't too bad. To Hawaii temperatures were in the mid 60° range up to 70° the day before arriving in Hilo. It was cloudy with some showers & wind closer to LA with mild sea conditions. In the Hawaiian ports the temperatures were in the upper 70° to lower 80° range which is typical for January in Hawaii. I was told that we were lucky to have a sunny day in Hilo which they hadn't had recently. Conditions returning to LA were similar but with fewer showers. Talking to several crewmembers they said the preceding holiday cruise had much rougher sea conditions and that the forecast for the cruise to Hawaii after ours was also for rougher sea conditions. Three sequential Hawaii cruises with different conditions. Even the four day cruise scheduled to Santa Barbara & Ensenada after our cruise had to be amended due to the weather. Instead they had a 2-day overnight stay in San Diego & a day in Ensenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
