Pipeline Surf Cam
Watch Pipeline in real-time, all year long on this webcam. The camera moves around giving you different angles of this stunning beach and ocean, along with live audio.
Pipeline is one of the most popular surf spots in the world, known for its perfect heavy barrels. It's a surfer's paradise and dream wave!
The surf season runs from late September to April, and during the summer months, Pipeline transforms into a calm and beautiful place to enjoy the beach and go for a swim.
This surf spot is situated on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, between Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach.
If you're visiting to watch the waves, Ehukai Beach Park is where you'll find parking, beach access, and the best viewing areas.

Waimea Bay Webcam
Watch the Waimea Bay cam live all year long! This webcam offers stunning views of the beach, shore break, and the iconic jumping rock in real-time.
Waimea Webcam Status
The Waimea live stream is temporarily down due to construction in the area, including roof and bathroom repairs. We'll resume streaming as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience! Until it's back, enjoy these highlights from the bay.
Waimea Bay is located just a short drive from Haleiwa Town and approximately an hour's drive from Waikiki or Honolulu.
It is known for its giant waves during the winter months, making it one of the most famous surfing spots in the world. Also, a prestigious surfing competition known as 'The Eddie' is held here when the waves reach heights over 40 feet.
In the summer or when the surf is small, Waimea is beautiful for swimming, snorkeling, or just lounging on the beach with the family. You may even see dolphins hanging around in the bay!

North Shore Webcams
Beyond the Pipeline webcam and Waimea Bay, you have the option to watch several beaches in Hawaii live on a website called Surfline.
Surfline's webcams are not free, but they offer a few seconds free in between ads, or you can play them uninterruptedly with a membership.
We really enjoy watching the Haleiwa surf cam at Ali'i Beach Park, which offers two different live angles of the surf, and the Sunset Beach surf cam.

We are always looking to add more live webcams to this page.

Aloha . How big are the waves today down that side? Is it worth driving to see beautiful
waves today?
Adriana
Hi Ryan, the waves are picking up today, and by this afternoon, we should start seeing bigger sets. Right now it's about 5-7 ft, which is 2ft overhead. The swell has a N angle, and the best places to watch are Laniakea, Sunset Beach, or Ehukai Beach Park. The weather is a bit overcast. Hope that helps!

Hi Deborah, right now theyβre doing some construction in the building at Waimea Bay where the camera is mounted. Hopefully the construction will be done soon! For now, you can watch the Pipeline camera live.
