Waikiki & Honolulu Surf Webcams
82 live cameras within 12 km of Waikiki — see the break live before you go. Free, no signup.
Waikiki is where surfing was first shown to the world — the long, rolling reef breaks off this Honolulu shoreline were the sport's original postcard, and the outrigger canoes and longboarders are still out there every day. The wall centres on the beach and takes in the Waikiki strip and the edge of downtown Honolulu.
Honolulu's public cameras are street cameras — the intersections of Kalakaua and Kuhio, the avenues that run the length of the beach strip. That makes this wall a street-level read on Waikiki: the sky over the reefs, the palms moving, the crowds on the sand-side avenues, the traffic that tells you how busy the strip is.
The wall — every camera, nearest first
The rule for this page is the rule for the whole family: every catalogue camera within 12 km of Waikiki’s centre (21.2793, -157.8385), ordered nearest first. Known for: Canoes and Queens, the gentle reef breaks off Waikiki Beach where modern surfing began.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.
What this wall actually shows
The nearest feeds are the Kalakaua Avenue intersections — Kalia, Kuhio, Lewers — the beachfront avenue itself, a few hundred metres from the sand.
Only one feed in the wall names the coast outright (out at Nimitz & Sand Island); this is a street-camera wall around a famous shoreline, and the page will not pretend otherwise.

How to check Waikiki before you go
- 1Start with the closest cameras in the wall above — the feeds nearest the centre are the ones that read the break's weather best.
- 2Read the sky and the surface, not a forecast: cloud cover, light, wind texture where a feed faces open ground or water, and how busy the town looks.
- 3Check the timestamp on any feed before trusting it — a paused camera and a calm morning can look alike.
- 4For swell height, period and a real surf forecast, use a dedicated surf report — WorldEye doesn't publish one. The camera is the visual half of the check; the report is the numbers half.
