Also, currents change as winds change on the ocean so you have to be aware of what is going on or else you are gone sometimes. Just because one day you were safe if you notice the wind is coming from a different direction everything could have changed so be careful swimming or snorkeling in the ocean. Some places even with a surfboard you cannot paddle fast enough to beat the currents. So be aware of where you are and the time of year and the direction of the winds anywhere on Hawaii.
However, local dive shops or surf shops might be able to tell you where you are going to be safest.
If you are heading north towards Hanalei Bay or Princeville it is on the way to there from Lihue which is the main city where the airport is you fly into on Kauai, "The Garden Isle".
My wife's back was out but she could still walk into the surf if I held her hand so she could see all the tropical fish like almost in an aquarium you are swimming into today. North of us it was raining, Where we were it had stopped raining but the air was about 83 to 85 degrees and very humid. To the south of us the sun was out along the beach today. But, it is always amazing for me a Californian to get out of the surf and be wet and not feel cold ever while in Hawaii. So, you even this time of year can be standing in the rain and not get cold as long as you are dressed appropriately so you don't ruin your cell phone or other valuables.
I remember being with my kids a few years ago on Maui at Waianapanapa (a black sand beach) near Hana, Maui. The rain clouds let loose and I started to get angry until I realized we all had been snorkeling and were already wet so we all began to laugh because it was just like being in a shower as the temperature of the rain was about 80 to 85 degrees. So, we all just laughed together realizing we already had just snorkeled and were wet anyway and now it was like taking a warm shower together outdoors. As long as the keys still worked on our rental car we were just fine. Only us and our towels and snorkels and us and our bathing suits were getting drenched in the warm warm rain coming down really hard Monsoon style. The road to Hana Flooded but we were able to drive through it back to Lahaina on the other side of Maui.
