Oahu East Side surf travel guide
There are plenty of bona fide surf spots on the windward coast, but it’s those constant onshore trade winds that rip into the waves and also create a swell source that is often at odds to the prevailing groundswell. With Kona winds and a bit of NE swell, the eastside breaks can magically transform, but it is the large local contingent who are the beneficiaries and visitors rarely take the time out to explore this beautiful, windswept coast.
