Access to Queen's Bath in Kauai is closed for now due to dangerous ocean conditions. A large northwest swell with waves between 8 to 12 feet has made the area unsafe. The gate will stay closed until it's safe to reopen, according to the County of Kauai.
The Ocean Safety Bureau is on high alert and is keeping a close eye on the situation, actively evaluating the ocean's temperament which, can shift from calm to perilous with little warning. Complicating the safety efforts, the 'Anini roving patrol is currently out of commission today, due to staffing issues—adding another layer of risk for those disregarding the closure, as reported by the County of Kauai.
If you're in Kauai or planning to visit, it's important to stay updated. Beachgoers should check with local lifeguards for current conditions. You can also call the Ocean Safety Bureau at 808-241-4984 for the latest information, as per the County of Kauai.
