Coming south outta Honoka'a towards Hilo. Like first bridge right before you hit Hilo just look down and you will see it. Respect the locals. They are good people who will give you waves as long as you show some aloha.
Breaks kind of like Lowers. When the swell is pumping outta the South from a hurricane its insane. Does see some wrap around in the winter months and will break on a NNW. Keep your eyes open for tiger sharks(rare). Show respect especially when Mike Stewart and Spencer Skipper are out.
Overview
Atmosphere
The vibe is awesome. Doesn't matter what you are riding as long as you are having fun and showing respect. The locals are laid back and usually kick down some waves to the haole's.
General
A really fun wave to surf when the west side is blown out. Good people and good spearfishing on flat days.
good vibes
only place that was breaking when on the big Island. I had a good time, the local boys/girls rip and show love as long as you show respect.
