Definately come to Oahu in December! It seems like the rainy part of the year is slowly pushing back later. In December, the weather is still nice. I go to the beach a lot during December. It is during the month of March where the rain starts pouring

Hawaii has two seasons. One of them being the rainy season and December is right in the middle of it.

The weather in the winter time is unpredictable. It rains most during this time of year, but will come and go. It may be sunny one day, rain the next day, and cloudy the day after that. Or it could rain for 40 days straight - as we had about a year ago (very unusual circumstance). So, unfortunately there’s no definitive answer for you. Summer is a safer bet, or you can set up a back-up plan for your wedding, in case it does rain.

I was there last December. It rained a little on and off a couple of days, but for the most part the weather was very nice. It was warm and sunny. The sunsets are not very colorful though, because there is less pollution. But I think it would still be a very nice wedding.

this should answer your question. and search for honolulu. scroll down and It will tell you the avg temps for each month of the year. even record highs and lows.

I spent December on Oahu in 2003. The weather was nice, in the upper 70s, and sunsets were very pretty. Lots of the buildings have Christmas lights or are lit up and there are Christmas decorations everywhere! I loved it.

Every Friday night at 7:30 the Hilton Hawaiian Village has a fireworks display.

I wouldn’t count on good weather in December. I lived there for 17 years and watched tourists come on Christmas break only to have it rain on them for the entire 2 weeks.
Best time of year is September to late November for mild temps with sunny skies in general. Summer if fine, but sun is hot. Winter and Spring can be rainy.
Sunsets are gorgeous most any time of the year (except in heavy rain, of course).

December generally has pretty good weather in Hawaii. (We say ‘in Hawaii’ when we refer to the state and ‘on ___’ when we refer to a specific island, such as ‘on Oahu’). Winter sunsets can be just as spectacular as summer ones, so don’t worry about that.

Congratulations!

How neat to find the bottle! I bet it got jettisoned overboard from a passing ship It probably isn’t worth much, but it is certainly worth keeping.

Read the first little “part” with the wagon:

Apparently they were Jam & Pickle Manufacturers and Vinegar Brewers..

That’s all I could find, sorry.

They are called box jellyfish. When I was young there were almost NEVER any jellyfish! The current theory is that the jellyfish population explosion around the world is an early warning signal of a disrupted environment out of balance, so sad…

The “8-12 days after a full moon” is the most common cycle because they come near shore to spawn, but this is a “rule of thumb”…you may have jellyfish at any time. But just watch for the posted signs, and listen to the news on tv!

These jellyfish are most numerous where the water is fairly still and warm, and also more common on the western and southern sides of the island. Kailua Beach is especially bad, but they can be in Waikiki and Ala Moana beaches as well.

There will be signs posted on the beach warning visitors, but you will see them washed up on the beach if they are close to shore anyway. Make sure not to touch them, the stinging cells are still active even washed up on the beach!

Don’t confuse the Hawaiian box jellyfish with the Australian box jellyfish. Although they are related, the one in Hawaii only has an awful and painful sting, but the sting of the species in Australia (also called the “sea wasp”) can be fatal, one of the most venomous animals known to man.

get stung, get people to *** on you, it works,,,,just dont get stung on the face or mouth…

I wonder why I listed so many food places…

I’ll agree with the Kahala Mandarin and/or Ko`olina Resort and Spa.

Both are beautiful, and for both, the crowds are just a matter of timing…I don’t think you’ll have too much control over the amount of other tourists you’ll run into.

Someone else mentioned the North Shore. Turtle Bay might also be nice too….

All of the above places meet your criteria of nice sunsets, white sand, and nice palm trees…

I agree with the Kahala, its lovely you really want to avoid the other end with all the building work going on, The Pink Palace is also very romantic but the beach there can be very busy, dont let anybody talk you into The Hilton they are building yet another tower… Most of the hotels on the front are good, but not quiet, the kahala is stunning, Some of the best beaches are in other parts of the island, we loved Bellows and Waimanalo, but there are no hotels there, to be honest Kauai is the most beautiful Island with the most romantic settings, altho my one vivid memory (cringe) is my mother hopping down Bali Hi, singing I’m gonna wash that man…. still never mind you will have a wonderful time.

go waianae and camp out

You’ll want to avoid the south shores because they’ll be full of tourists. The west shores are tricky… lots of hostility… unless you go to Ko’Olina… but again, go when there are not as many tourists. The east side of the island is pretty uncrowded but there’s not much beach; mostly rocky shores. SO: your best bet is the north shore… HOWEVER there are tourists like crazy. But you mentioned you’ll be there in September. The tourists are gone by the end of July. All you’ll see are a few locals and snow birds. The sunset time frame would be perfect as this is the time when most people start to empty out the beaches up north to hit the club scene down south. YOU ARE GONNA HAVE A BLAST!!! Congratulations and god luck!!!

Yes, there are usually jellyfish around 10 days after a full moon. And yes, they usually invade Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay. Warning signs are usually posted when they come, so just watch out for the signs. The only precaution I can think of is to not go in the water there during this time. As an alternative, you may try the west coast of the island instead. There’s a bus that goes all the way to Makaha Beach, which is also a nice beach to swim and picnic. Take bus number C from Ala Moana Center to reach it.
