September is the warmest month, averaging 81 \u00b0F.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Rules and licences:<\/strong> The US Coast Guard treats a paddleboard as a vessel as soon as you leave the immediate swimming or surfing area. From that point a wearable life jacket for every person on board is required, together with a sound signal, and a white light after dark. Individual states add their own rules on top, so check the state boating agency before a longer trip.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Paddle Board in Honolulu<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> While we strive for accuracy, always verify details before paddling.
