Shark sighting shakes up Makaha morning

An eight-foot shark made a bold appearance just 100 feet off Makaha’s surf lineup, prompting lifeguards to clear the water and post warning signs. Residents got an HNL Alert on their phones, and Ocean Safety crews kept a close watch all morning. This isn’t the first time Makaha surfers have had to dodge sharks this year—there’s been a noticeable uptick along Oʻahu’s leeward coast. If you’re heading out, lifeguards urge everyone to check in first and stay alert. How do you feel about the increase in shark sightings? Has it changed your beach routine? #Science #Makaha #SharkSighting
