Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Kona Tiki in Big Island is an exposed reef break known for its fairly consistent surf. While it sees its best conditions in summer with offshore winds from the east-northeast, it can also deliver clean waves in winter, particularly in January. The break favors west swells and tends to attract a crowd when it's working. Surfing here means being cautious of hazards like urchins, sharks, and occasional localism. When conditions align—especially with a west swell and light offshore winds—Kona Tiki offers reliable left and right reef waves.
