Lineup Insights
Lineup Guide
Shore and reef features near Makapuʻu steer peaks into short, lefts and rights with some push and can produce powerful shorebreak closeouts and strong rip currents.
On raw southerly windswells the spot can be bumpy and more localised, so time sets on incoming tide and watch for shifting sand and rips.
