Waikoloa Beach Resort

Waikoloa Beach Resort is a W-facing beach break in Kapalaoa, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SW to WNW and N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 67% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
