Keawaiki Bay is a surf spot located on the coast that offers a laid-back vibe for surfers looking to catch some waves. The beach is known for its nice surroundings, and the crowds tend to be on the lighter side since it requires a bit of a trek from the highway or a walk along the Kings H'way Foot Trail to reach it. This spot can be a refreshing break from the busier surf locations.
The surf at Keawaiki Bay works best with a west swell, but it can also handle swells from the southwest and northwest. You're looking at optimal conditions at about 3 feet (around 0.9 meters) or so, which can provide some fun waves for intermediate surfers. The waves break over an uneven reef, offering both left and right-handers. The best wind direction is southeast, and the waves can be surfed during low, mid, or high tide, making it a bit flexible depending on the day's conditions.
Since this spot is a bit off the beaten path, it’s a great choice if you want to escape the usual crowds. Just remember that it can be best for those who have some experience, as the reef can add a level of challenge. Overall, if you’re in the mood for a more secluded surf day, Keawaiki Bay could be worth checking out.
