Kaua‘i Ocean Safety Bureau officials advise no swimming or other recreational ocean activities at Hanalei Bay because of heavy runoff and brown water.
Hawai‘i Department of Health Clean Water Branch the afternoon of July 22 issued a brown water advisory for the bay. Additional brown water advisories also are in effect at other beaches.
Ocean Safety officials remind the public to swim only at beaches with stationed lifeguards and to stay out of water anywhere it appears brown or murky.
Speak with a Kaua‘i County lifeguard at any lifeguard station, visit the Safe Beach Day website or call Kaua‘i Ocean Safety Bureau at 808-241-4984 for up-to-date ocean conditions and ocean safety information.
