Makaha is the place to go if you want to experience the "real" Hawaii in an area that doesn't get much tourism. Makaha is located on the less visited western side of Oahu, but don't let the isolation deter you because there is plenty to do here. The beach of Makaha is long and wide and never crowded, and is excellent for swimming on calm days, but should be avoided in wintertime when the waves are quite large and dangerous, sometimes reaching 25 feet high. Makaha Beach County Park is marked by a headland known as "Lahi Lahi," and is famous for the international surfing contest held there each year. In the Makaha area, you will also find snorkeling, surfing, deep-sea fishing, golf, or you can watch dolphins and turtles frolicking in the sea, and in season, it's a great place for whale watching. Explore the countryside and visit Land's End, near Kaene Point, the westernmost point on Oahu. This area is only accessible by foot or on horseback. Makaha Town offers several ethnic restaurants and a variety of lodging, and just minutes away in the town of Waianae, you'll find plenty of shopping and fine dining, a resort spa and theater, and luau. If you tire of the peace and quiet on this side of the island, the nightlife of Honolulu and Waikiki is just a 55-minute drive away.

Makaha Weather & Climate

Oahu has a tropical climate, with only two seasons - winter and summer. By some people's standards, the climates should be spring and summer. Temperatures vary little, and winter is only slightly cooler and wetter than summer. Visitors encounter more variations in temperatures between elevations and location on the islands than from seasons. The east sides of the islands are wetter due to exposure from prevailing northeasterly tradewinds, which brings more rain to the eastern shores. The west sides, or "leeward," tend to be much drier. The sunny western side of Oahu is no exception, and it receives most of its rain October through March. Summer months receive very little to no precipitation. Hawaii's latitude is in the tropics, which means the length of day is relatively uniform throughout the year. In wintertime, winds from the southwest, called "Konas" sometimes bring heavier rainstorms, but severe storms, such as hurricanes, are rare.
