Hawaiisito surf guide

Hawaiisito, or Little Hawaii, is a surf spot located on the east side of Palmar Beach. The spot features some rocky boulders, making it a scenic location for surfing. It's fairly accessible for surfers, although it’s not the best choice for complete beginners. The waves here tend to be more suitable for those with some experience in the water.

The waves at Hawaiisito mainly break over an uneven reef and offer both left and right rides. The optimal swell direction is from the south, but it can handle swells from the southwest too. Generally, it works best when the swell size is around 2ft (0.6m) up to head-high, but don't expect anything too powerful, as the waves can often feel weak and crumbly. For the most fun, mid to high tides with a northwesterly wind work best, making for a decent surf experience for intermediate surfers.

Though the waves aren’t super epic, they can still provide a fun ride for various types of surfboards. If you find yourself at Hawaiisito, it’s a good spot for a laid-back session when the conditions align well, but don’t be surprised if the waves aren’t always firing.
