Makaha's got a nice summer feel today, perfect for checking out the Caverns. With a gentle 8 mph NE cross-offshore breeze keeping the surface clean and only 1-2 ft surf, entry should be a breeze from the sand. The estimated visibility today is 40-50 ft, offering a clear view of the reef, but just keep in mind the tide is rising, so there might be a bit of a push, especially around the lava tubes.

Site Notes
Summer only — large west and northwest swells (Oct–Apr) make this site dangerous. Best May–Sep when the leeward coast is flat. Sandy beach entry with reef further out.
