These are complete calendar days; a notice counts through its cancellation date. This comparison does not establish when a notice changed, current water quality, or conditions elsewhere on the island. Check the linked beach page and current DOH notices before entering the water. A historical change does not establish swimming safety or start a waiting-period countdown.
Big Island has remained mostly advisory-affected across both 14-day island-wide advisory-day windows (0% of days had no DOH advisory anywhere on the island in the latest window). All 7 of our tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day rainfall signal is mild. Rainfall probability does not predict whether DOH will issue or lift an advisory. See the Big Island leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
Maui is worsening over the last 14 days (-21pp vs. the prior two weeks). All 6 of our tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day rainfall signal is dry. A dry forecast does not establish current water quality or mean an advisory has cleared. See the Maui leaderboard for the beach-by-beach ranking.
Oʻahu has remained mostly advisory-affected across both 14-day island-wide advisory-day windows (0% of days had no DOH advisory anywhere on the island in the latest window). All 12 of our tracked beaches on the island recorded one or more advisory days in that 30-day history window. NOAA's 7-day rainfall signal is mild.
