Surf Waikokos

Waikokos - North Shore, Kauai Waikokos features a reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by a powerful and ledgey nature. The spot handles small to large swells, peaking during winter months, with optimal conditions from the North, Northwest, and Northeast. Access is straightforward, with a short walk from parking along the main highway. This family-friendly surf spot is less crowded than nearby Hanalei Bay, offering a playful break even at 3-6 feet, while larger swells of 12-22 feet present a challenge for experienced surfers. The left wave is long and forgiving, while the right can be steep and hollow. Caution is advised due to sharp rocks and potential hazards like urchins and rips. With easy access and a welcoming atmosphere, Waikokos is ideal for surfers of all levels, especially those seeking a less aggressive environment.
