safetoswimhawaii@gmail.comIf you notice brown water, sewage, or other contamination at a Hawaii beach that we haven’t reported, let us know. We cross-reference every report against DOH data.
We pull data from 6 government agencies every 15 minutes. If you spot an error or outdated information on any page, we want to know so we can fix it.
We cover 2,400+ pages across all six Hawaiian islands. If your favorite beach is missing or you have an idea for the site, we’d love to hear it.
For press inquiries, data licensing, or partnership opportunities, reach out via email with “Media” or “Partnership” in the subject line.
Safe to Swim Hawaii is an independent project built to help residents and visitors make informed decisions about ocean water quality. We are not affiliated with the Hawaii Department of Health or any government agency.
We aggregate data from 6 sources — the DOH Clean Water Branch, USGS stream monitoring, NOAA tides and temperatures, NDBC wave buoys, NWS weather alerts, and City & County of Honolulu testing. Our historical bacteria risk ratings are based on testing data and geographic analysis, not real-time measurements.
We believe everyone deserves access to water quality data before they get in the ocean. That’s why we built this.
