Spot guide

Alapaʻi is an NNE-facing beach break in Kalawao County, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from WNW to E, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 31% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSW: light winds or SSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNE onshores chop it up.
