Beginner spot · Reef break

Waikiki

Honolulu, United States (Hawaii)

Soft, rolling waves over shallow reef where modern surfing grew up. Long rides suit longboards, but the lineup gets busy.

Swell and wind

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.
