About

Great everyday surf spot if you longboard or paddle surf. You can realistically expect to catch waves here at least 15 days a month.

Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is super relaxed, lots of local families with kids out surfing. This is a popular spot for tourists to rent boards and try their hand at surfing so be prepared to avoid them. This is also a very popular spot for the locals in Kailua, so give them the right of way on the big days. Beware of the shallow water on low tides, a bad fall will definitely cut you to shreds on the sharp reef below.

Additional Info:
Park at the Kailua beach park lot, not much risk of having your car broken into here. It can be super crowded on the weekends though so get there early if you expect to park in the lot. If its full, park on the street but don't block the locals driveways! There are lots of beginners out here because this spot works on very small swell and will hold on the big NE swells that come through in the winter. Both sides of the island work but the south side seems to be better for everyday surfing. On 5+ feet days, the back of the island will go off and provide 100+m rides across the back of the island. This spot will have shortboarders, longboarders, paddleboarders, and even kayakers out surfing so it can be a shitshow on days where beginners should not be out. Be prepared to dodge idiots who drop in and tourists on rented paddleboards and kayaks.
