Chun's surf guide

Chun's Reef is a popular surf spot located on the North Shore of Oahu, situated between Jocko's and Waimea Bay. It’s a good choice for intermediate surfers looking for a break that isn’t too gnarly, especially during the winter months when the waves can really get going. The spot offers both left and right waves that break over a shallow, uneven reef. The conditions can be inviting, but it’s important to remember that the reef is sharp and shallow in places.

The outside right can be fast and a bit short, while the left tends to be more forgiving with its wider roll and deeper water. The waves here generally handle swell sizes from about 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 meters) and work best with a northwest swell direction. It’s usually best around a low to mid tide, and the wind is favored from the east. Beginners can find fun waves here, but a bit of caution is needed as the current on the inside can get tricky at times.

Access to Chun's is pretty straightforward; you can park along Kam Highway where it’s allowed. The crowd factor is moderate, and you’ll find locals out in the lineup, so humility and respect are essential. Be prepared for consistent crowds, as it’s a well-known spot that many surfers want to check out. The environment around can also affect conditions, especially after heavy rain which might cause occasional run-off. Overall, Chun's is a solid choice for a fun surf session if you’re in the area.
