Makaha is a reer and beach break that is well exposed to westerly swells, providing consistent surf. The waves break left and right over the reefs and on the beach breaks.
The break can hold huge swells, during the winter months the surf can reach 25 feet on the point, providing some of the most challenging surfing in the whole of Hawaii.
It does get crowded here so take care.
The wave breaks off the Makaha Beach Park, which is about 13 miles from the end of H1 from Honolulu. It is about 3 miles north of Waianae.
Lots of accommodation available.
Golf at the Makaha Resort Golf Club. Lots of swimming. Visit the volcanos.
