Located on the South Shore of Oahu, Kailua is a quality left-hand point break that offers up a rippable wall when the conditions line up. The waves here can be challenging to surf and break for up to 200 meters over a rocky bottom. Watch out for jellyfish.
What are the best surf conditions for Kailua?
Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard then a shortboard or step-up as the size increases. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will always have a crew (7/10). The best winds are from the Southwest. The best swells are from the North and Northeast. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing board shorts or a bikini year-round here. Water temperatures don’t fall below 24 and range as high as 27. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
