Surf, weather, safety alerts, and the best beaches for 2026-06-10.
Oahu is windy and choppy today, with strong ENE winds (17-18 mph) dominating the island. Windward shores (Kailua, Waimanalo) are ideal for windsurfing or kitesurfing, but choppy conditions make swimming less safe. The south shore (Ala Moana, Magic Island) offers the most sheltered, reef-protected waters — best for families and beginners. North Shore beaches (Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay) have solid surf (3.7-5.2 ft), but wind and chop make swimming risky. Pack windproof gear, reef-safe shoes, and monitor conditions closely. Avoid waters near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam — an active sewage spill advisory remains in effect.
