Outdated

It’s outdated - no ocean updates for a year

A quick reliable guide!

This is app is a quick resource for current conditions on Kauai. You can easily find a beach that suits your interest, whether snorkeling, boogie boarding, or surfing. Knowing If lifeguards are available and knowing if the waters pose any risks is extremely helpful. I always recommend this app to all my guests.

Updates

We are seeing Jan. 16 info on Jan. 19

Ocean report !

The Ocean report doesn’t update everyday. Without that you miss out on good snorkel days or drive 45 mins to find it blown out. I love the information provided. Just needs to be updated AT LEAST once a day.

Updates about every three days

Got this app to see the surf and weather conditions on all the beaches on the island but the app only updates every three days or so. For instance I’m writing this on the morning of April 16th and the reports are all as of 1:20 pm April 13th. How is that supposed to help me today?
Maybe there’s an in app purchase of a time machine that I missed! Otherwise the map of the island is helpful.

Fantastic App!!! Can’t go to Kauai without it!!!

Gave us the best & most up to the minute info! Really helped us out

So simple yet oh so helpful

This app is simple, straight forward and easy to use. The information let’s you pick the perfect beach for the day. So if you DON’T use it you could spend a lot more time in the car driving to another beach.

Know Before You Go!

Many people drown because water seems calm at first.

This app is the next best thing to asking a local.

A must have for a safe and fun visit to Kauai

There is a lot of misinformation about beach safety on Kauai and many people have died from sheer ignorance or foolishness. This app can help address the first condition. I recommend it highly!

So useful and easy to use!

Swimming in Hawaii is something you definitely want to be informed about and this app gives you all the relevant info you need! It’s well designed and easy to use. We loved it!!

Great App! 👍🏻

We used this app a lot while we were on vacation in Kauai. It was a very useful app, and I highly recommend it!

Easy and helpful

Easiest beach description app I know of. Great helper to Kauai travel plans.

Great app 👍👍👍

We highly depend on this app to let us know the safe beaches to go swimming while we are on Kauai. Thank you

Kauai App

Wonderful app! Provides a lot of useful information about the island to include weather in different areas of the island.

Great info at a glance!

Like the easy access to information. Great for parents with kids who need to know safe swimming areas

Everyone visiting Kauai should have this!

I’ve lived on Kauai for over 20 years, and also run a vacation rental. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that someone created this app! I now recommend it to all my guests! It’s easy to use and free. People so often just go blindly to whatever beach is nearby, or their friends or guidebooks recommended, without understanding that beach conditions change, and can change radically, throughout the year and even the day. This app could save lives. You’d be crazy not to get it. And no, despite the small size of this island, I don’t know the developer. ;-)

Nice!

Great little app for a quick overview of conditions.
Just be aware that only beaches with lifeguards will show the green pin points at least that's been my experience

Nice Little App

As a Kauai resident, this app give quick and easy access to beach info.

Would be a 5 star if tidal info was also present.

Great app for surfers

I love this app for checking surf conditions around the island. And... I really love checking the app when I'm back at home - chilled to the bone in a Rocky Mountain snowstorm. It always makes me smile and plan my next trip back to Kauai.

Nice job with good Information

This little app gives both good advice and local Information. Would like it to update the ocean report a couple more times in the day.
