Oahu's Beaches

When someone says beaches, do you think of pounding surf,
secluded white sand or family friendly?
Welcome to the Guide to the Best Beaches on Oahu. Here you will find descriptions
and recommendations for the beaches to go to on Oahu. Always check local surf
conditions (scroll down to find out how) but in general, waves are largest for the South
and East shores in the Summer and for the North and West shores in the winter.
OCEAN INFORMATION -- For a detailed description of the Pacific Ocean's marine
climate, water properties, currents, tides, waves, etc., please visit The Ocean Atlas of
Hawaii online. You'll learn many interesting facts, like our average surface water
temperature in Winter is 75º F (24º C) and 81º F (27º C) in the Summer.

Call 596-SURF (that's 596-7873) to hear a recorded message on conditions at
various O`ahu beaches. The recording is a free service of the Surf News Network
(SNN) and is updated four times a day, 365 days a year, at 7 a.m., noon, 3 p.m. and
7 p.m. In addition to wave heights, SNN provides information on winds, tides, and
buoy readings.
South Shore


General: The South shore is located near all the action and hotels of Honolulu and
is easily accessible. The water is calm, but sometimes the southern beaches get a
bit crowded.
Windward Side
(East Shore)



General: The windward side is generally the calmest of all the shores and has the
best swimming beaches. The sand is beautiful, the water blue, and the waves are
calm.
North Shore



General: The North Shore is famous for its surfing, and waves regularly hit 30 feet in
the winter. Extreme caution should be taken during this time.
West Shore


General: The West Shore has good surfing in winter. One concern is that its
isolated location along the poor and arid Western shore has resulted in numerous
break ins to rental cars and some resentment by locals of any tourists that invade
their "turf." But for those willing to deal with that (or that can blend in), it is worth a
look.
