Typically, March on Kauai offers a transition from the wetter winter months to the drier summer season. Daily temperatures average between the high 60s and low 80s Fahrenheit (around 20-27 degrees Celsius). Rainfall diminishes compared to January and February, but showers are still possible, particularly in the island’s mountainous interior. Ocean conditions are generally favorable for swimming and other water activities, though occasional swells can occur. The north shore begins to experience calmer seas, while the south shore enjoys consistently pleasant wave conditions.
Understanding the characteristic climate of this period is valuable for planning travel and activities. Historically, March has marked the start of the blooming season for many of Kauai’s endemic flora. This offers visitors a chance to witness the island’s natural beauty in full display. Moreover, the moderate temperatures and relatively lower rainfall make March ideal for outdoor pursuits like hiking, kayaking, and exploring the Na Pali Coast. The transition period can offer a balance between vibrant scenery and comfortable conditions.
