Lifeguards were still counting the number of jellyfish coming into shore.
The situation will be assessed tomorrow morning and the decision will be made whether to open the bay to the public.
No information on other beaches was immediately available.
Box jellyfish come into certain O'ahu beaches monthly, usually on or near a full moon.
