Honuapo Bay is a surf spot located along the stunning coastline of Hawaii. It's easy to reach since the Hawaii Belt Rd runs close by. It's known for its unique black sand beach and rocky environment, making it an interesting place to surf. The area is less crowded than some other spots, so you can often find yourself with some space to ride.
This spot really shines with southeast swells, but it can handle east and south swells too. The waves here typically break over uneven reef and sand, and you can expect good rides when the swell is around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters). The waves generally go left, making it a great option for regular footers. For the best conditions, look for a north wind and try to surf during low, mid, or high tide.
If you're an intermediate surfer, you'll likely feel comfortable here as the waves can pack a punch but are manageable if you know what you’re doing. Just keep an eye on the conditions, especially with the wind, to make the most of your time in the water.
