Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Easy to get to. Parking along the main highway. Easy walk to the spot. Paddle out very short to the lineup and you're assisted by the current, even on big swells. Makes it much easier than the 20 minute paddle at Hanalei Bay. Staying on the roadside of the break, there is a very steep right that is hollow at times. Further over, there is a few take-off spots for a fairly long left. That take-off is not as critical, more forgiving and tends to wall up in front of you as you race on down the line. Problem getting caught inside with reef and the sharp items in the shallow water though. Can be surfed by all surfers at small sizes, but experienced only at surf over 10'.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Will hold a large swell for the goofy footer. Has a very long left and a short but steep right during larger swells. Crowds are not as aggressive as Hanalei Bay and even at 3'-6' has a very playful break. But, at the much larger size 12'-22' can be a challenge, yet managable to the experienced surfer. Closes out when larger than this. In between size swells are handled by the spot too. Not nearly as crowded as the Bay and not much localism either. |
| |
General |
Great overall spot for the surfer and his family. Not crowded at all. No problems with access other than the very short trail from road level to the beach where you have to climb down a tree. Easier than it sounds though. Handles small to large swells from a variety of angles, but with most Northshore spots, works best during the winter months. |
