Hanalei Bay, Kaua'i


When people think of surfing Kaua'i, they think of Hanalei Bay. Known as one of the top surf destinations in all of Hawaii, surfers come here to find beautiful, long rights and glassy waves. It is a powerful reef break, sheltered by mountains on each side, and is known for being one of the most scenic surf spots in the world. The best season for surf is during the fall and winter months, where waves average from chest to double overhead. This spot is known to locals and tourists alike, located about 45 minutes from the Lihue Airport, and is on the north shore of Kaua'i. There are numerous campsites and few hotels in Hanalei Bay, making this surf spot a local gem. The locals are typically very nice and friendly, however, sharks have been known to infest these waters, so surfers beware. Surfing in Hanalei Bay, you will not only enjoy great waves, but also the beautiful view of the Na Pali Mountains.
