The Wave

Best reports come on long-period North-NW groundswells with Southeast to East winds (offshore) and around mid tide when the peak lines up.

Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.

The reef cluster and shallow rock ledges create punchy, sometimes dangerous takeoffs-be careful on bigger days and expect limited easy exits.

Crowds are light except when Waimea/Waialua groundswell pulses.
