Hawaii hurricane record

NOAA's table of continental U.S. hurricane impacts records no hurricane-force winds in Hawaii from 1851 through 2025; the season risk for a stored boat is flooding and debris from weakened systems.

Hilo averages 120.4 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in November (14.4 in), before any storm is added.

Hurricane checklist for a boat in Hawaii

  1. Decide haul-out versus slip early; marina contracts often set haul-out order.
  2. On land, strap the hull to ground anchors and pull the drain plug.
  3. Strip canvas, biminis, cushions and electronics.
  4. In a slip, double the lines, add chafe gear and leave slack for surge.
  5. Photograph the hull ID and position; keep papers waterproofed.
  6. Get the building wind rating, the FEMA flood zone of the address and the re-entry rules in writing.

Hawaii hurricane season boat questions

Do hurricanes reach Hawaii?

NOAA's continental U.S. hurricane impact table (1851-2025) records no hurricane-force winds in Hawaii. Weakened tropical systems still bring heavy rain, so a boat stored in a low spot or below grade can flood during the June to November season. Hilo averages 120.4 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in November.

Which Hawaii boat storage listings are enclosed?

31 of 63 live Hawaii listings list enclosed indoor space; 23 list covered and 54 outdoor spaces. By city: Honolulu (31; 14 enclosed), Pearl City (6; 3 enclosed), East Honolulu (5; 0 enclosed) and Kaneohe (5; 4 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Honolulu (14) and Kaneohe (4). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 12 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.

What should I do with my boat when a hurricane watch is issued in Hawaii?

Move it at once. 31 Hawaii listings list enclosed space; book one before June. Honolulu has 12 months in the water by our rule. NOAA records no hurricane-force winds in Hawaii, so the realistic threat to a boat is a remnant storm's rain. Hilo averages 14.4 inches in November, so check the site drains.

Which Hawaii cities have the most boat storage listings?

Listings span 12 Hawaii cities. The largest groups are Honolulu (31 listed), Pearl City (6 listed), East Honolulu (5 listed), Kaneohe (5 listed) and Aiea (4 listed). For covered spaces, Honolulu (9) and Pearl City (3) lead. Statewide, 54 list open lots, 23 covered parking and 31 enclosed space, so a boat owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
