Lineup Insights
The Wave
Cleaner sessions come on E-NE long-period groundswells with offshore flow from the W-SW.
Mid to mid-high tides tame the punchy shorebreak while very low tides make sections more hollow and hazardous.
Lineup Guide
The shorebreak at Makapuʻu is steep and shallow - expect punchy, shore-breaking peaks and a hazard-prone reef sector near the northern end (Suicides) that can close out hard.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
