Poor conditions right now. Small 1.5ft waves with wind swell (short period) with very light winds Note: winds from ESE would be better. Might want to wait for better conditions.

Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Kiholo Bay in Big Island is a fairly exposed beach and point break known for its consistent winter surf and quality wave setup. The spot performs best when a west-northwest swell meets offshore winds from the east-southeast, producing clean, rideable waves with both left and right options. While it can get a bit crowded on good days, the atmosphere generally remains relaxed. Surfers should stay alert for rips and the presence of sharks. January is typically the prime month for scoring the best conditions at Kiholo Bay.
