Three Tables at a Glance
Three Tables Beach got its name from the three sections
of flat reef that appear on the water’s surface during low
tide. These formations make an interesting backdrop for
one of the most attractive beaches on Oahu’s North Shore.
The snorkeling and diving conditions are good if the ocean
is calm, usually between May and September. The water is
only about 15 feet deep and you’ll be able to see all kinds
of colorful fish and underwater lava tubes, ledges and arches.
Sometimes you can also see sea turtles here.
In the winter, the waves can reach heights of over 40 feet
in this area. This makes for a very rough and dangerous
ride, and only highly experienced surfers should try to
ride these waves. The surf can be unpredictable during this
season, so never turn your back to the ocean when you’re
in the water. When the surf is up, even the tide pools become
a dangerous area to swim in.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try night diving.
On a good night, you should get enough moonlight to see
several feet under water. However, you should be an experienced
diver because there are no lifeguards in the area. The best
time to visit Three Tables is early morning before the crowds
arrive or in the late afternoon when parking spaces start
to free up.

be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
