Will the air and water temperatures be suitable for swimming and water sports in the Poipu Beach area in early January, or will it be too cold?

Thanks!

We checked in on January 22nd this year and Poipu beach was excellent for snorkeling. Air temps were around 75-78 every day.

We were in Poipu this past January from 6th-11th. We were in shorts, tank tops and swimsuits every day. It rained intensely one night. Was a little overcast the next day. Otherwise, it was really nice.

I guess the question might also be, where are you from? If you're from the desert of Arizona or Florida, maybe not! Northern States? Probably!

My dad and brother/family was at Lawai Beach at Christmas last year and hit rain/rain/rain and cool temperatures. It dropped into the low 60's at night which gets pretty cold when you're sleeping "open air" like many of the condos. This was a big deal for my dadbecause he is in his 70's and a Jack-Sprat-Eats-No-Fat-Super-Skinny-wears-flannel-shirts-in-Hawaii-in-July kind of guy. He said that he MUCH preferred Hawaii in the summer because you are almost (?!) guaranteed hot & sunny weather...which is why we go to Hawaii! My brother didn't find it to be a problem, though, but it kept his young children out of the ocean most of the time.

On the up side, they found Lawai and Poipu Beach to be swimmable/snorkelable (is that a word?) during the winter months, where as all the north and east shore beaches were very dangerous with HUGE waves.

Hope this helps you decide whether it's right for you!
