Spot guide

Maniniʻōwali Beach is an NW-facing beach break in Kalaoa, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from N to NNE and SSW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 51% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SE: light winds or SE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NW onshores chop it up.
