With this live webcam, you’ll be able to observe the mouth of the famous Waimea Bay, known for its renowned surfing competitions on big waves, such as the Eddie Aikau.
From November to February is considered the prime time for observing massive waves. During these months, waves can reach staggering heights, sometimes exceeding thirty feet, posing a significant risk even for experienced surfers.
It’s important to always pay attention to warning signs. From May to September, the waves become less intense, creating a calmer atmosphere for surfing and swimming. This webcam provides a view of the Waianae Mountain Range on the western side, separating Central Oahu from the Leeward Coast. It’s the oldest part of Oahu, with an age of about four million years. The highest point on Oahu is Mount Ka’ala, standing at 4,025 feet (1,227 meters). In the evening, this livestream captures beautiful sunsets at Kaena Point, the westernmost tip of the island of Oahu.
The waters along this coastline are part of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District. While humpback whales are not as densely populated here as on West Maui, they are often visible from November to April. Other marine inhabitants include spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and occasionally endangered Hawaiian monk seals.
