Microplastics are a big problem on O'ahu and im sure the neighboring islands. Anytime there's a big NE swell you can expect to see debris lined along the entire beach. Ive never had a opportunity to visit the James Campbell Wildlife Refuge but Kahana Bay is where I spend alot of time after the new year chasing wind swell.

Today we stopped by the Twin Fin Hotel to pick up a sand sifter provided by Parley to collect a jar and 5 gallon bucket of microplastics.

A moderate to large NNW swell has started to fill in across the reef this afternoon along the north shore of Oahu. Local time is 2:32 p.m. It is Wednesday, November 5, 2025. The previous swell turned out to underperform what was originally forecasted earlier in the morning, so we decided to call it a day at sunset and head back home before passing a full parking lot at Laniakea as the sets rolled in. A quick stop for lunch and back out we went. The current swell is coming in at 7.4ft 14s NNW @347 degrees. Winds are currently crosshore coming in from the east, northeast at 10 knots, gusting up to 14 knots, with a high tide of .8 ft set at 2:27 PM
