Safety: Waimea Bay

Big-wave coastlines are hazardous for spectators and surfers. Conditions at Waimea Bay can change quickly.

Non-negotiable basics

Follow emergency services and signage. Never cross barriers. Avoid exposed rocks and harbour walls. Keep children close and know your route away from the water.
