More about Kalihiwai surfspot
Nestled beneath impressive cliffs is Kalihiwai, a featured wave in the Kauai Boyz video, where even the best surfers can get thrashed by misjudging the elevator drop take-off or the intense, disproportionately massive barrels. Few people are permitted to partake since it is fairly inconsistent and always crowded.
The Kilauea lighthouse marks entry to the rainy, onshore east coast, with low cliffs and extended valleys, aka the Coconut Coast. Rarely clean in the teeth of the easterlies, there are some fun reefs to ride in the headhigh range and some spots have a rideable wave 365 days of the year.
