Surfrider Foundation - Oʻahu Chapter

Currently, 7 out of 14 sites fail to meet recreational health standards for Enterococcus, a f***l indicator bacteria.

Extremely high bacteria counts at:
South Oʻahu - Kuliʻouʻou Stream
South Oʻahu - Wailupe Beach Park

*Please note that the results on the map from the North Shore are from two weeks ago.

As always, ocean users are advised to avoid ocean water that is brown and sites that fail to meet health standards.

The Blue Water Task force is looking for volunteers, especially if you can help transport samples from the North Shore! We test Oʻahu beaches every other Sunday, but your commitment would be based on your availability - once a month, once every two months. Email Arleen at [email protected] if interested. It’s rewarding to know we are helping to keep beachgoers healthy!

Stay informed. Stay safe. And always remember to rinse!

We are looking forward to our June workday on Sunday, June 21st. Come spend the morning helping us mālama our garden, and then join us for a no-host pau hana at Moku Kitchen, one of our Ocean Friendly Restaurant partners!
