Surf Ripps Reef

Ripps Reef - Windward Side, Hawaii Ripps Reef features a reef break with both right and left-hand waves, characterized by a sharp coral bottom mixed with sand. This spot is accessible only by boat, making it a unique destination for adventurous surfers. It can handle wave heights up to 6 meters and works well at all tides, particularly during a rising tide. Known for its memorable rides, Ripps Reef offers a thrilling experience for those willing to wait for the right conditions. The wave can deliver long rides, reminiscent of the first Eddie event, but requires careful navigation to avoid getting left behind during cutbacks. With minimal crowds during the week and weekends, surfers can enjoy this hidden gem in relative solitude. Just be prepared with a good sand anchor and the right mindset to tackle this challenging yet rewarding surf spot.
