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 has operated online since that year, pairing island-by-island travel guides and two decades of firsthand travel advice with a connected set of free traveler tools — live ocean, weather, trail, and volcano conditions, a personalized trip planner, cost calculators, and a daily audio briefing rebuilt each morning from live data.

Trades are breezy right now with scattered showers on the windward side and mountains; the leeward coast stays mostly dry. Tomorrow stays breezy with the same pattern.
A tropical disturbance southeast of the islands is likely to become a tropical storm by mid-week and approach the state Thursday through Saturday. The exact track is still uncertain. If it comes closer, expect heavier rain over a longer stretch; if it stays farther out, impacts will be shorter and lighter. Winds will increase late this week, with potential gusts over 70 miles per hour on the highest summits.
Plan your leeward beach time and snorkeling for today through Tuesday. Save summit drives and offshore water sports for after Saturday, and check updates daily as this develops.
