Toes

Toes is located on Oahu's windward coast facing northeast into a protected bay system. The spot features a shallow reef-dominated environment with distinct turquoise and dark water patterns indicating significant depth changes and current flows. The bay is partially sheltered by surrounding headlands and residential development, creating variable wind conditions with moderate reliability. The water shows rough-chop characteristics typical of reef-influenced conditions with fetch limitations. Best conditions occur with northeast or northwest winds that approach side-shore to the northeast-facing coast. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating shallow reef terrain and managing variable wind patterns. Key considerations include respecting the shallow reef areas visible in the turquoise zones, monitoring currents indicated by water color changes, and being aware of the proximity to populated areas. The low wind reliability (24.3%) and modest average wind speed (9.2 knots) suggest this spot is seasonal and dependent on weather systems.
