Swedish expat, stay-at-home dad, and the one behind this site. Living the island life on Oahu with my wife and two kids since 2022.
Hej! and welcome to HawaiiYeah — a site built because I couldn't find the beach info I actually needed.
When we first moved to Hawaii, I spent hours trying to figure out basic stuff: Is there parking at this beach? Is it safe for small kids? What's the surf like today? The answers were scattered across outdated blog posts, Reddit threads, and word of mouth.
So I started writing it all down. Every beach we visited got a guide — parking tips, safety notes, what to eat nearby, the real conditions. What started as personal notes turned into this site.
What we cover
How the site works
Every guide is researched from real visits and local knowledge. Surf and weather data updates automatically throughout the day. The site is free, has no paywalls, and no sponsored content — just a dad who likes beaches writing about beaches.
If you find a mistake, have a tip I should add, or just want to say aloha — drop me a line.
