The Wharf Lefts

📍 Local Knowledge

The Wharf Lefts in Molokai is an exposed reef break offering consistent summer surf with smooth, peeling lefts. Optimal conditions arise when a south swell meets offshore winds from the north-northeast, with the reef setup delivering quality waves during this window. While the break can attract a crowd when it’s on, it still offers enough room for solid rides. Hazards include sharp reef, coral, and the presence of sharks, so caution is advised. July is typically the most reliable month for clean, rideable waves at this favored southern exposure.
