High winds lead to busy weekend for Ocean Safety
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Honolulu Ocean Safety says high winds kept rescue crews busy on the water Saturday, officials said.
Ocean Safety said around 1 p.m. Saturday, two paddle boarders had to be rescued in Waikiki after strong winds pushed them out to sea.
Lifeguards rescued both and brought them to shore unhurt.
Then, just before 3 p.m., two people were kite foiling off Waimea Bay when winds pushed them about three miles offshore.
A woman was rescued via jet ski, and a man could return to land on his own.
No reports of any injuries.
Ocean Safety reminds beach-goers to check the latest weather conditions before going into the ocean.
