Poor conditions right now. Tiny waves under 1ft with long-period 16s ground swell but pretty windy at 12kt Note: winds from N would be better. Might want to wait for better conditions.

📍 Local Knowledge

Kawela in Molokai is an exposed reef break with unreliable surf, lacking a distinct seasonal pattern. When it does break, conditions are best when a south-southeast swell pairs with offshore winds from the north, producing clean right-handers over the reef. Despite its inconsistency, the spot can draw a crowd when it’s working. Hazards include sharp rocks, strong rips, urchins, and sharks, making caution essential. While not the most dependable location, May tends to offer the best chance for clean, surfable waves.
