This live camera looks out over the surf near Ward Village on the south shore of Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. It suits anyone planning a trip to Waikiki who wants to check wave and sky conditions before heading to the water. The player below streams directly from the source.
About the south shore
Honolulu sits on the southern coast of Oahu, where a warm, mostly sunny climate meets the open Pacific. Waikiki, just to the east, is one of the best-known beach districts in the United States, and the Ward Village area lies close to its western edge. The shoreline mixes sand, reef and calm lagoon water, and the mountains of the Koolau Range rise behind the city, often catching clouds that drift over the coast.
What the camera shows
Because the camera is listed as a surf view, the most useful thing to watch is the water: wave height, how far the sets reach toward the shore, and whether the ocean looks glassy or choppy. Conditions often change through the day, with trade winds typically strongest in the afternoon. Morning tends to be calmer, which is when many surfers and paddlers head out. The view is most informative in daylight.
Practical notes
Honolulu has warm weather throughout the year, with the wetter season usually falling between November and March. Water temperatures stay comfortable for swimming in most months. Nearby cameras on this site cover the Ala Wai Channel, Waikiki Beach and the Waikiki Marriott area, so you can compare conditions along the coast before choosing where to go.
