Description
Haleiwa - North Shore, Oahu
Haleiwa features a dynamic reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sharp coral bottom. The spot thrives on west swells, particularly when they exceed 1.8 meters, offering powerful and fun rides. It works best at low and mid tide, but caution is advised due to strong rip currents and rocky hazards.
This vibrant beach town is the heart of the North Shore surf culture, attracting both locals and visitors. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet the waves can be challenging, especially on bigger days when the currents demand respect and effort to navigate. Beginners can enjoy mellow conditions on smaller days, focusing on reform waves. Access is straightforward, with a quick paddle out from Ali'i Beach Park, making it an ideal spot for surfers of all levels to experience the thrill of Oahu's surf scene.
