Kaalualu Point surf guide

Kaalualu Point is a surf spot located on the southern coast, known for its long-access hike or the option to take a 4WD vehicle. The point offers a somewhat isolated surfing experience, especially when the big south swells are rolling in. It provides surfers a chance to enjoy some waves away from the more crowded spots, making it a unique destination for those willing to make the trek.

This spot features a left point break that can handle swells from the south and even some from the east and southwest. When the conditions are right, Kaalualu Point can serve up some fast walls that are great for experienced surfers. The optimal swell size here is around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters). The waves break over uneven reef, and the mid-tide is usually the best time to hit the water. If the wind is coming from the north, that works in favor of surf conditions, giving the waves a little more shape and consistency.

It’s important to note that Kaalualu Point is best suited for expert surfers due to its uneven reef and the fast nature of the waves. The mix of rock and sand in the area can make things a bit tricky, so it's good to have solid skills before heading in. Overall, while it might not be the most well-known spot, it can reward those who put in the effort with some decent surfing sessions.
