Lawa'i Beach (Beach House) is experiencing fair conditions today, primarily influenced by a 2-3 ft swell that creates some surge near the reef. The 8.7 mph NE wind is cross-offshore, and with minimal rainfall, runoff is not a significant factor. The estimated visibility currently is 20-30 ft. The water temp is around 82 with the air at 73.

Site Notes

South-facing — exposed to summer south swells. Small beach with rocky reef entry; conditions can get surgy and currents pick up when swell is running. Best on calm mornings at higher tide.
