O'ahu
O’ahu is home to some world-famous surf breaks, especially the North Shore of O’ahu is renowned for its powerful and challenging waves during the winter months (October to March). Breaks like Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay attract professional surfers from around the world and hosts various World Surf League (WSL) surf events and the most prestigious big wave surfing event known as “The Eddie Big Wave Invitational”.
Point Break
At a point break, the shoreline juts out into the water to form a headland. A wave that is lengthy, well-formed, and unlikely to close out or break in front of itself is created when a wave strikes a headland or pier and starts to peel down the extended shoreline. Point breaks typically only have one takeoff point and only travel in one direction, so you might have to wait in line to catch a wave. At these specific surf spots, quality prevails over quantity.
