Most golfers arriving in Honolulu in February expect warm, dry, breezy trade-wind conditions straight out of a travel brochure. The reality is more nuanced. At 77°F average high, February is technically tied for the coolest month of the year — not cold by any stretch, but noticeably less lush-warm than the summer months. That daily swing from 68°F to 77°F stays comfortably within the ideal 60–80°F playing window all day, so temperatures rarely become a problem.
The bigger surprise is the wind. February is the second-windiest month of the year, with peak gusts reaching 15 mph — squarely in the moderate category. Trade winds can push shots off line on exposed layouts like Koolau or Turtle Bay's Links Course in ways that catch first-time visitors off guard. Fifteen precipitation days also means roughly every other day carries some chance of a shower, even if many pass quickly. The Variable season tier on this page reflects that mix honestly.
Book morning tee times before 9 AM — trade winds on Oahu's exposed courses tend to build through the afternoon, and early rounds also give you the best chance of staying ahead of passing showers that become more frequent as the day heats up. With 15 precipitation days spread across the month, back-to-back rounds are worth staggering across different course exposures so a windy ridge layout doesn't follow a rainy one. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February sheds one rainy day compared to January's 16, making it marginally drier, though its peak wind climbs 2 mph to 15 mph, so conditions feel rougher on the course despite the slightly lower precipitation count. Stepping into March, that rain picture changes sharply — March logs 22 precip days, seven more than February, making this month a noticeably better choice for uninterrupted rounds. Wind eases only fractionally into March (down 0.6 mph), so February's trade-wind challenge doesn't disappear the moment the calendar turns.

February sits in a Variable season tier — temperatures are ideal at 77°F average high, and it's actually tied for one of the drier months with 15 precipitation days. The main catch is wind: at 15 mph peak, it's the second-windiest month of the year, which meaningfully affects club selection and ball flight on exposed courses.
February is tied for the third-driest month of the year alongside September, November, and December at 15 precipitation days. That said, about half the days in the month carry some precipitation risk, and the month immediately after — March — jumps to 22 rainy days, so February is a comparatively sound window if your schedule is flexible.
