Advisory cleared at Sunset Beach — Oʻahu coast continues recovering
1 tracked beach cleared DOH advisory status in the last 24 hours: Sunset Beach. Bacteria can linger after visible turbidity clears, so the 72-hour waiting rule still applies if the advisory was rain-driven.
Big Island has been mostly advisory-free — the same baseline as the prior two weeks. 0 of our 7 tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day forecast is dry, so the mostly advisory-free baseline should hold. See the Big Island leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
Maui is worsening over the last 14 days (-36pp vs. the prior two weeks). 1 of our 6 tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day forecast is dry, which should halt new advisory activity and let the existing advisories begin to clear. See the Maui leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
Oʻahu is worsening over the last 14 days (-71pp vs. the prior two weeks). 1 of our 12 tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day forecast is mild — scattered showers possible but unlikely to drive new advisories. See the Oʻahu leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
Kauaʻi is worsening over the last 14 days (-57pp vs. the prior two weeks). Our 6 tracked beaches happen not to overlap with the DOH advisories driving this signal — the worsening trend is from island-wide or other-area advisory events. NOAA's 7-day forecast is mild — scattered showers possible but unlikely to drive new advisories. See the Kauaʻi leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
