Surf & season

South swells begin filtering in to Hawaii’s south shores normally as early as March, and as late as early October. The larger swells are typically between late June and early September. The swells in summer are generated quite far away, in the far South Pacific between Chile and New Zealand. By the time these waves reach Waikiki, they are finely groomed and organized. There can be long lulls of calm blue water, and suddenly the sets roll in and churn it up. In the year round tropical water, between waves, you are content to relax in your trunks and enjoy the classic beauty and historic view of the boat harbor and Waikiki shoreline.
