Baby Makapuu
Edit SpotAbout
This is a very calm and chill spot most of the time. On good days it can be crowded, but it is worth going out in the crowd for. The only problem is the lack of nearby restrooms. It is a 5 minute walk down a rocky trail to get to the nearest ones
Additional Info:
On the mediocre days, the best, and only, break comes from the rock patch on the right side. It is easy to catch these waves, but you have to turn right away to get.

Just down the road from the well known Makapuu break is a smaller, and easier wave known as Baby Makapuu. The small cove sometimes refered to as Cockroach or Blimp's cove is slightly rocky along the shoreline, with small sections of rock on each side. On a good, but unfortunatly rare, day, this spot has about 3 working breaks: the outer and biggest break, the inner-right break, and the always present beach break.
