I'm now nearing the end of my NG+ run and I just got back from Hawaii (in-game).
On the last night of the school trip, you get a text from a girl about spending time on the beach together after Ryuji invites you to find girls since he struck out earlier.
My first playthrough, I received a text from Makoto, who I think was my highest ranked Confidant at the time, so that made sense. However, this time around, I've maxed both Ann and Makoto's Confidant ranks, while Hifumi was only at 7, yet Hifumi was the only one who texted me.
What determines who you get a text from? It looks like only one girl will text you.

Apparently, it's possible for multiple girls to contact you for this date (though it never happened for me, strangely). This can be seen in this video.
There are requirements that must be met for any of these girls to contact you, which can be found here:
Here are the conditions for events during the Hawaii trip.
- Ryuji: none
- Makoto: rank 5 or higher
- Ann: rank 9 or higher, romance
- Kawakami: rank MAX, romance
- Hifumi: rank 5 or higher
Considering I wasn't romancing Ann or Kawakami at the time, this lines up with them not contacting me, despite having reached max rank with Ann. As for Makoto, I may not have been invited by her because I'd declined her romance already. Otherwise, this seems to check out.
