Located on the South Shore of Oahu, Barbers Point is a quality reef break that offers up some nice left-handers on South swells and more broken-up peaks on wrapping North swells. The waves here can be a bit tricky to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef. The entrance/exit is a bit rough as there are a bunch of rocks strewn about.
