About This Spot
This spot is located on a leeward Hawaiian coastline facing west toward the Pacific Ocean. A narrow beach corridor separates the road from the water, with arid volcanic terrain dominating the inland area. The spot is a beach break with light swell conditions averaging 0.72m. The extremely low wind reliability (1.5%) and minimal average wind (5.3 knots) make this location marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore flow. The shallow, confined nature of the beach corridor limits water space and poses hazards from rocky features and the nearby road. Visible vegetation clusters suggest some protection from development. This spot suits beginner kiters during the rare instances when adequate wind materializes, as the light swell and protected orientation minimize wave dangers. However, unreliable wind conditions and the cramped beach setup make this a secondary choice compared to more exposed Hawaiian locations. Water temperature and light-swell conditions are favorable when wind does occur.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water near shore
Rocky outcrops visible along coastline
Limited fetch distance
Potential for strong localized currents along the narrow beach corridor
Road proximity to beach creates obstacles
