About This Place
Oahu's North Shore has a run of beaches with lifeguards on the State's list, including Sunset Beach, Ehukai Beach, Ke Waena Beach, Chun's Reef, Waimea Bay, Laniakea Beach and Haleiewa Alii Beach Park, as the list spells it. Offshore of Pūpūkea and Waimea Bay Beach Parks lies the Pūpūkea Marine Life Conservation District.
Winter, from November through April, brings consistent huge and dangerous swells, and swimmers of any skill level should stay out of the water in high surf. Summer typically brings flat to small waves, though spots open to the trade winds can see bigger swells. Pick a lifeguarded beach, and if in doubt, don't go out.
