📍 Local Knowledge

Backdoor in Oahu is an exposed reef break with fairly consistent surf, particularly during winter, with January providing the most reliable clean waves. It performs best when northwest groundswells combine with offshore winds from the southeast. The break often gets crowded, and surfers should be cautious of rocks. Summer tends to be mostly flat.
