Waipu

Waipu is an SSW-facing beach break in Puka‘au‘huhu, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from E to SE and S to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 49% 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.
