The river's main channel is {{convert|1.5|mi|km|}} long (complete length is 64.4 miles including all tributaries), and has a watershed spanning 13.6 square miles.[1][2] It is formed by the confluence of the Kamananui stream and the Kaiwiko{{okina}}ele stream northeast of Haleiwa and flows northwest through the Waimea Valley to the Pacific Ocean at Waimea Bay. The name Waimea translates to "red water."[3] The mouth of the river has become famous for its waves that are created when residents dredge the beach, creating a channel that allows the watercourse to drain when it is cut off by the beach.[4] See also
