Machida Beach

Machida Beach is an NNE-facing beach break in Hilo, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from NNW to SE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 34% 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.
