Pipeline Pond

This is an ocean pond that formed in the middle of the beach at the famous Pipeline in Hawaii. This usually happens when there have been some fairly big waves for only a day or so. The short period of waves brings the water surging over the front of the beach sand and runs sideways along the beach where it drains back into the ocean, keeping it fresh. If the swell would stay consistent, the waves would simply erode the front of the beach down and the pond would not even be formed.

The sand that forms the beach in front of Pipeline goes through an annual cycle. As the winter season begins, huge waves will consistently take sand off the beach & into the channel, until a point that there is hardly any beach left in front of the houses. During spring, little by little, the sand begins to come back and form the beautiful beaches that Hawaii is known for. In between that time, are the magic little moments like this. Hope you enjoy.
Thanx for viewing.
Aloha, Mana
