Makaha Beach Park
Waianae, Oahu, HI
Makaha is looking glassy and inviting today, with the calm summer waters offering a rare, tranquil window into the caverns. The minimal swell is the real highlight here, keeping the entry easy and the surge inside the lava tubes practically non-existent. While the rising tide is currently pushing against the flow, the estimated visibility today is 40-50 ft, making it a solid day to spot the resident turtles and spinner dolphins cruising the reef.
