Waipouli Beach

Waipouli Beach is an SE-facing beach break in Kapaa, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from NNE to ESE and SE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 32% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.
