What is the wettest month in Waikiki?

What are the best months for swimming at Waikiki Beach?

When is surf season at OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort?
November through February is prime surf season, when large North Shore swells create impressive waves. While Waikiki itself has smaller, more manageable waves perfect for learning, this is the best time to watch professional surfing competitions or take lessons near the resort.
How do trade winds affect the weather at the resort?
Hawaii's northeast trade winds blow most consistently from April through October, providing natural cooling and keeping humidity comfortable even during warmer months. These winds help make even the hottest days pleasant at your oceanfront Club suites.
What should I expect from Club Ocean View Suites and oceanfront rooms regarding weather views?
The Club Ocean View Suites, Club 1 Bedroom Oceanfront Suite, and Club 1 Bedroom Ocean View Suite offer direct views of Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
