Yokohama is a surf spot located at the end of the Farrington Highway, just past some picturesque beaches like Keaau Beach Park and Makua. It offers a rugged and scenic environment that many surfers find appealing. The area tends to be less crowded compared to other surf spots, making it a decent option for those looking to catch some waves without too much competition.
The surf at Yokohama can be quite intense. It works best with a SouthWest swell, but it also handles some action from the NorthWest. You can expect waves that break over live coral, which adds an extra layer of excitement to your session. The waves here can deliver powerful lefts and rights, so it's not the place for beginners. This spot is better suited for experienced surfers who can manage the quick takeoffs and navigate around the coral heads, especially at mid tide. The swell sizes can range from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up, so be ready for some fun surf when conditions are right. Ideally, you'll want to be out here when the wind is coming from the NorthEast and during low to mid tide for the best experience.
While you’re out there, just be aware that some local surfers might prefer it if visitors don’t surf Yokohama or nearby spots like Third Dip. So, respect the vibe and enjoy the surf!
