Surf Pakala

Pakala (Infinities) - Kauai, Hawaii Pakala is a left point break that offers fun waves over a coral reef, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The wave can last for a long time, especially during summer months when south swells roll in. The takeoff area is about 1.2 to 2.4 meters deep, but caution is advised as the reef becomes very shallow near the shore. This spot is somewhat sheltered, making it capable of handling larger swells, but be prepared for a short 5-15 minute walk to access the beach. The atmosphere is generally mellow, though localism can be an issue. Expect a crowd of 4-15 surfers on weekdays, increasing with swell size. While the water is murky and there are potential dangers like sharp rocks and urchins, the vibe remains inviting for those willing to navigate the local scene. Just remember to respect the locals and enjoy the ride!
