Poʻipū — Surf Report & Tide

Poʻipū picks up S–SW groundswell from Southern-Hemisphere storms in summer (roughly April–September) — smaller and longer-period than the winter north swells. Best in the early-morning glass before the trades put a bump on it.

The wave height above is in Hawaiian scale — measured from the back of the wave, roughly half the face — the way it’s called in the water here. Tides are NOAA predictions for the nearest station, updated live.
