Ala Moana Bowls
Edit SpotAbout
Very beautiful and gnarly wave when it is going off. Take advantage of dawn patrols.
Additional Info:
Don't try to take off too deep here cause probably won't make the section and you'll miss the sick barrel.
Don't keep any valuables in car in parking lot, cause it gets worked alot by Da Boys.
Location
Loading...Access
Go to ALa Moana Harbor/Boat parking lot near Hawaiian Hilton Village. Walk along rock jetty
that parallels the boat on the right side of you. Jump off rocks and paddle right towards the deep water boat channel.
If it is on, you will see a thick sucky left barrel coming through. Have fun and get barreled.
