A gem of a right-hander in a marine preserve — long, fast walls through impossibly blue water. Needs a solid NW pulse and a light-wind window; Kona days (S–SW) are offshore, and early morning is the call.

Safety: A demanding wave: solid fitness, confident duck-dives and crowd awareness are the entry fee. The current pushes against you on the paddle-out, and the take-off zone has a strict local order. Sharks are part of the ecosystem here — avoid dawn, dusk and murky rivermouth water.
