Hawaii Surf, Volcano & Beach Conditions

Hawaii's North Shore surf season runs from November through February when powerful North Pacific swells produce world-class waves at Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay. Summer months bring calm conditions to the north shore while south-facing beaches like Waikiki and Kihei see rideable swells from May through September. Each camera page includes live NOAA weather data, wave height, swell period, and wind conditions.

Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Our volcano webcams stream live views of the summit caldera, capturing lava fountains, glowing vents, and gas plumes. Night viewing is often the most spectacular when active lava illuminates the crater walls. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitors eruption activity continuously.

From the turquoise waters of Hanalei Bay on Kauai to the underwater reef cams off Maui's coast, our Hawaii webcam network covers the islands' most scenic locations. Whale watching season runs December through April when humpback whales migrate to Hawaii's warm, shallow waters to breed. Many of our beach cams capture whale breaches, spouts, and tail slaps visible from shore.
