The Wave

When long-period SSE-SW groundswell arrives in summer and early morning NE/ENE trades are light, the break produces long, often powerful lefts that hold from head-high to overhead.

Mid-tide windows typically groom the face before trades build late morning.

Lineup Guide

Rugged access and a sharp lava/reef bottom demand careful entries and keep lineups relatively sparse.

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