Lineup Guide

Mid to rising tides commonly smooth the takeoffs but the reef stays punchy at most stages.

The paddle-out from the harbor wall and the constant presence of fishing boats (plus occasional shark sightings) shape who surfs Kewalos and when - expect busy lineups and the need for alert situational awareness.
