Hapuna Beach at Hapuna Beach State Park is closed this morning for public safety

Posted on Jan 19, 2013 in Alert
   

Hapuna Beach at Hapuna Beach State Park is closed this morning for public safety,  due to surf and water conditions.  The surges from the ocean are going too far up on shore and may cause problems for people.  Ocean waves are 10-12 feet, but the water is going as high as the vegetation on the Northern end of the beach and reaching some of the lifeguard towers.  Lifeguards from Hawaii County Ocean Safety will inform the DLNR Division of State Parks it is safe to reopen the beach later today. The public’s understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

If there is any change in status, an update notice will be issued.
