Forecast
As of:
Avalanche sits outside Haleʻiwa and can steal and funnel huge amounts of swell-water across the harbor, producing powerful lefts and fast rips - expect long paddles and occasional ski support on big days.
Best raw conditions are long-period NW-WNW swells with light E-SE winds.
Tidal state is less limiting but currents strengthen as size increases, making timing and exit strategy critical.
