Haleiwa

Haleiwa is an NNW-facing reef break in Oahu, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from WSW to W and WNW to NE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 42% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
