Makapuu Beach
Edit SpotAbout
I would surf there everyday if I didn't have a job!
Atmosphere:
If the swell direction is right and wind is calm then it can get EPIC. The lefts from the point can be made all the way in to the shore for a close out, if you wish. Locals are pretty mellow as long as you don't drop-in and hog all the waves. Weekdays are the best due to weekend crowds.
Additional Info:
Great Surf for all. Lots of Parking and beach is 1 minute walk from car. Bring your lunch, no stores or food in the area, except Sea Life Park(exspensive). Good point break that goes left for surfers and the rest of the beach is for mostly bodyboarders and bodysurfers due to the medium to shallow sandy bottom. Then there is a right surf break that is infront of the parking lot that is OK.
