AccessElectric Beach is a shore entry for confident swimmers. Currents, boat traffic, and the reef drop-off can make the exit hard.

ParkingUse the marked public spaces near Kahe Point and keep the road and utility access clear.

ReservationsNo general shore-snorkel reservation is listed. A guided trip may use a separate operator meeting point.

ClosuresSkip the entry when the current, shore break, or boat traffic is strong. Check the surf forecast before you leave.

Marine lifeThe warm-water outflow can attract fish and turtles. Keep clear of pipes, boats, and wildlife.

Jellyfish drift risk

Drift estimate from wind, swell, current and warm water.

Low · 29/100

Low peak drift risk around Mon 19:00.

warm water supports seasonal jellyfish activity; surface drift/current is noticeable; local shoreline exposure is not mapped yet.

Sightings override the model: if you see small purple jellyfish with long trailing tentacles, treat them as sting-capable and give them space.

Scoring methodology (for technical users)

We score each hour from 0 to 1 using daylight and these weighted components:

  • Wave height (35%): best below 0.36m, then decreases as it rises.
  • Wind speed (25%): best below 5.4m/s, lower is better.
  • Sea surface temperature (15%): best within 20.6°C to 30.4°C.
  • Tide and currents (15%): best around slack/high-tide windows.
  • Daylight (10%): visibility is better in daylight, so night hours score lower.
