Spot guide
Wawaloli Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Kēahole, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 40% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
Rare slot: the Kaiwi Channel lets in swell from 320.2° (NW) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 258 km out. How slot swells work
