Estimate

Busy-time intelligence

August: no dedicated climatology window — using harbour baseline. HIGH Transpac landfall and winter south-swell periods A 700-slip harbor with almost no true visitor product. Plan Ko Olina or a commercial alternative for larger yachts. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
