Waimānalo — Surf Report & Tide

Waimānalo sits on the windward side, exposed to trade-wind swell most of the year — consistent and bumpy rather than groundswell-clean. Lighter-wind mornings, or a wrapping N or S swell, are when it’s worth 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.
