The Wave
The most surfable, cleaner waves occur on SW long-period swell with E-ESE tradewinds offshore, while winter NW groundswell makes the spot heavy and hazardous.
Summer brings smaller, cleaner surf and excellent snorkeling.

Lineup Guide
The wide reef and nearby Haʻena Point concentrate currents and create punchy rips near the entry, so expect fast-moving lines and tight crowds around the primary peaks.
