Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Kalihiwai in Kaua‘i is an exposed reef break known for its reliability and consistent surf, especially during the winter months. It performs best when a solid north swell meets offshore winds from the south, creating clean, well-shaped waves. The break offers both left and right reef rides and handles all stages of the tide well. Due to its quality, it often attracts a crowd. Surfers should stay alert for rips, submerged rocks, and occasional shark sightings. January is typically the prime month for scoring ideal conditions at Kalihiwai.
