Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, Pacific Ocean, Honoli’i is a quality reef break that lies at a river mouth, offering up great performance-oriented walls that go both left and right. The waves here can be a little challenging and break for up to 100 meters over a coral reef. Gets hollower as the tide gets lower.
