A shark sighting had signs posted at Waimea Bay and Waikiki today. At 10:15 this morning, lifeguards at Waimea Bay spotted a shark measuring 6-8 feet long. They posted signs.
Then at 12:30, lifeguards in Waikiki saw another one in just about 2-4 feet of water. They posted signs and warned people to stay out of the water. Signs in Waikiki came down at 3:30 this afternoon.
But on the North Shore, the signs stayed up as sharks were still seen near shore.
Another Waimea Bay Shark Sighting Rocks Oahu (?)
The following phenomenally well-written press release just showed up in our inbox (courtesy of KGMB9 News.) This is the second official sighting this week near Waimea Bay – see our coverage and the shocking photo of a shark warning sign on the beach. Tiger sharks are the most common man-eaters in the Islands; and with an appearance now in Waikiki, it appears that Hawaiian sharks are canvassing all shores of the island of Oahu, in preparation for a land-based attack.
