There may be some breathing room amongst the sand and reef peaks at Pupukea and Ehukai or the shallow spitting pits of Gas Chambers. The modest lava jut of Rocky Point is a swell magnet and a jam-packed theatre of progressive school surfing, logged by the ever-present surf photographers lining the beach. The rights reel off in N swells while the handful of speedy lefts prefer more W-NW. It's very consistent in all small to moderate swells and the curve of reef allows for some wind variation from NE-S depending on what section you are riding. Access path from the giant wood statue on Kamehameha Hwy.

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.
