What February feels like
February brings whales into the bay and very few visitors into town; the east side never gets the crowds the Kona side does. The farmers market is fullest on Wednesday and Saturday, and rain has never once stopped it.
Rain arrives about 11 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 77° — comfortable for swimming.
