Lanikai Beach is experiencing poor to fair conditions today, primarily driven by strong 20.9 mph E cross-onshore winds that are creating choppy surface conditions. While minimal rainfall of 0.02 inches means runoff is not a significant concern, the wind is the dominant factor impacting the water surface. The estimated visibility currently is 15-20 ft. The water temp is 80 and the air temp is 78.

Site Notes

Windward side — exposed to trade winds but Mokulua Islands break incoming swell. Best on light wind days. Sandy entry with patch reef further out.
