The Wave

It favours long-period North/NNE groundswells with offshore southerly winds and will work across tides, though very large events are the primary window.

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

Lineup Guide

Access is awkward - the break sits off the Hilo breakwall and is most often paddled or towed from Hilo Harbor, and when it runs it can be powerful with rocks, rips and limited lineup space.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
