Hawaii has many great surf spots all over the island. I have gone ahead and listed for you the top 5 surf destinations in Hawaii. Keep in mind that I am not taking into consideration skill level of the surf, or anything such like that. This list is based off overall greatness. Simply, the best surf destinations in paradise.
1. Bonzai Pipeline - The infamous "Pipeline" has been a surf spot icon for years. The best of the best from all over the world come here to surf Pipeline. And with good reason, it has good size potential, glassy waves, and picture-perfect tubes. World championship surf contests have been held here. Bonzai Pipeline is the most famous surf destination in the world.
2. Waimea Bay - Waimea Bay has a long heritage in Hawaii. Known for both massive, monster waves at it's point break. And also for it's beastly shore break. Waimea Bay's shore break is one of the most famous shore breaks in the world. Shore breaks are waves that break extremely close to shore creating high impact surf. Waimea Bay is also where they have the Eddie Aikau Surf Invitational. This surf contest is for big wave riders only. Massive 25-foot plus waves are to be surfed. Waimea Bay is a must stop destination in paradise.
3. Sandy Beach - Sandy Beach is another famous shore break located on the south-east side of the island. It's known for it's fast, critical surf and very shallow waters. Even though to most the conditions seem a bit dangerous, the wave is one of nicest around. Even on very small days, you can count on Sandy Beach to still barrel and provide a fun wave for everyone to enjoy
4. Sunset Beach - Sunset Beach is another famous surf spot located on the North Shore of Oahu. Numerous professional surfers go there regularly. The waves are nice and long and many surf contests have taken place there. It's an easy stop along the way while your driving to the North Shore. And it's the perfect place to be to watch the Sunset.
5. Kaiser Bowls - Kaiser Bowls is a surf spot on the south shore of Oahu. Arguably the nicest tubes in town, Kaiser Bowls is clean, and easy to ride. It's great for beginner to advanced surfers. It gives you both a fast right barrel, and a long left hand ride. The paddle out isn't that far and once you get there, you have a channel on the side to help incase you get caught on the inside breakers. My favorite surf destination spot in town.
