Last is Makaha, consisting of four distinct breaks: the Point, the Bowl, the Blowhole and the Inside Reef. Rideable at any size, these epic rights become a challenge over 10ft (3m). Visiting haoles (whites) need to be very respectful of the tight-knit Hawaiian families that live and play in Makaha. Featuring canoe, tandem, stand-up, bodysurfing and longboards over 10 feet, it brings together the entire community. 4th December of 1969, Greg Noll, took off on a 30ft (10m) Makaha monster, considered the largest swell in recorded history.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
