Halona Cove Beach on the Makapuu coast is also known as “Eternity Beach” because it was the beach in that famous scene in “From Here to Eternity”. It is actually nestled under a lookout point overlooking that beach, Blowhole, and Sandy Beach.
Winter Waves Pound Sharks Cove

The North Shore of Oahu is well-known for the large and often dangerous winter waves. Here is what it looks like during the summer.

As you can see it is as calm as a lake. It’s even safe enough to go walking in the tidepools at night with a flashlight (if you know what you are doing). But during the winter, it gets quite dangerous although it does provide some nice wave watching.
Surfers at Sunrise & Sunset

We know the weather is getting cold as winter approaches. For better or worse, the average temperature in Hawaii only varies 4-8 degrees F between summer and winter. While that means we don’t get the beautiful seasonal changes of higher latitudes, it also means that we have beach weather all year round. Surfers take advantage of this fact by surfing all year, at all hours of the day.
While filming the sunrise and sunset videos on the North Shore, I got some footage of surfers doing their thing before and after the work day. Fortunately, I got video of surfers performing for a water camera man. I don’t know if it was for a photo shoot or just for fun, but there were a lot of them. And when watching the surfers as the sun went down, I couldn’t help but think if there’s any better way to end a day in Paradise.
