Access, Safety and Regulations
Access
Public shore access. Confirm DAR marine license and any beach-park rules. Hanauma Bay MLCD is excluded. Kewalo docks belong to honolulu-kewalo.
Primary hazards
Reef cuts, shorebreak, and crowded swimming areas. Do not enter Hanauma no-take water.
Fishery considerations
Tide is NOAA 1612340 Honolulu, nearby harbor tide, not Waikiki beach at-location. 51211 is nearby south-shore energy, not a surf forecast for a named break.
South-shore swell and trades. This is not North Shore winter surf scoring.
Regulations
Size limits, seasons, and possession rules change. Verify the current official regulations before fishing.
The map marker represents the cataloged waterbody or monitoring location and may not indicate legal parking or public access. Confirm access through the official information before visiting.
Coastal conditions can vary over short distances. Predictions and remote observations are planning information, not guarantees of access or safety.
Pin is public reef/shore from Ala Wai / Waikiki to Diamond Head fishing waters. This is not Kewalo Basin docks and not Hanauma Bay.
Hanauma Bay MLCD (Palea Point to Paioluolu Point no-take) is excluded. Maunalua Bay FMA is a legal overlay, not this pin name.
