Brown Water Advisory at North Shore (Hale‘iwa to Sunset Beach), O‘ahu

First Detected: 12/23/2022
Sign Removed: 01/04/2023
Closed: 12/23/2022
Cause: High Surf

The island wide Brown Water Advisory has ben cancelled; however, a Brown Water Advisory has been issued for the North Shore of O‘ahu.

High Surf has resulted in stormwater runoff entering into coastal waters. The public is advised to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff due to possible overflowing cesspools, sewer, manholes, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris. Not all coastal areas may be impacted by runoff, however, if the water is brown stay out. Continue to practice good personal hygiene and follow-up with your primary care physician if you have any health concerns.
