Description

Kalihiwai Point - Kauai, Hawaii Kalihiwai Point features a right-hand point break over a boulder bottom, producing hollow, fast, and powerful waves. The surf site is easily accessible with less than a 5-minute walk from public access points. It works at all tides, particularly during falling tide, and is best with swells from the north, northwest, west, and northeast. Situated on Kauai's east coast, Kalihiwai is framed by scenic cliffs and offers a unique surfing experience. While it can produce decent waves when conditions align, inconsistency is common, and the spot often attracts a heavy crowd, especially on weekends. Surfers should be cautious of rips, undertows, and localism, as well as the occasional nudist colony. Despite the challenges, the picturesque views and vibrant atmosphere near Kilauea Lighthouse make it a noteworthy destination for skilled surfers seeking adventure.
