🌊

The Wave

Honolua prefers longer-period north to NNW groundswells with light E-SE offshore breezes.

Mid (around half) tide produces the best-shaped, hollow sections while hazards include shallow reef, urchins and strong rip channels.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The steep bluff trail limits parking and funnels crowds into tight lineups-arrive early or expect packed peak battles on good days.

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