Spot guide

Kewalos is an SSW-facing reef break in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SE to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
