Cannons

📍 Local Knowledge

Cannons in Kaua‘i is an exposed reef break known for its reliable winter surf and solid wave quality. The spot fires best when a north-northwest swell aligns with offshore winds from the south-southwest, producing clean, powerful waves. Suitable across all tide stages, Cannons delivers consistent performance but can get crowded on good days. The reef setup supports high-quality rides, but surfers should be cautious of hazards like urchins, sharp rocks, pollution, and localism. Sharks are also present in the area. January is typically the best month for scoring clean, consistent surf.
