Waimea Bay, on Oahu's North Shore across from Waimea Valley, sits at the mouth of the Waimea River. The bay is home to "Jump Rock" which has become a popular destination for cliff diving from its 20-40 foot summit. During the winter months, advisories are put in place for inexperienced swimmers as the enormous winter waves at Waimea Bay signal the start of big-wave surf season.
