Description
Locals only - Ala Moana Bowls - Honolulu, Oahu Ala Moana Bowls features powerful, hollow waves breaking over a sharp coral reef, offering both right and left rides. This spot works at all tides and is best accessed from Ala Moana Harbor, with a short 5-15 minute walk along the rock jetty. Expect fast, ledgey conditions that can deliver thrilling barrels. Located near Ala Wai Harbor, Ala Moana Bowls is renowned for its long, shacking lefts that peel down the reef, particularly during south swells. The break can become ultra crowded on weekends, attracting local surfers who are confident and patient. Paddling out is typically done from Magic Island, especially during larger swells, while smaller days allow for direct entry into the channel. Be cautious of the local hazards, including urchins, rocks, and strong currents, as well as the potential for localism. Summer offers more consistent surf, while winter conditions can vary significantly, so timing your visit is crucial.
