Summer is drawing to a close ...
The calm, flat conditions of summer are gradually giving way to regular, small pulses of swell that herald the arrival of winter to the North Shore. It won't be long before the North Shore springs to life and our coastline is drumming to the beat of massive waves.

At this time of year, both the south and north shores of Oahu enjoy the fun surf of fall... then it's only a matter of weeks before the North Shore switches gears and gets serious.

After a long, hot summer, the locals are looking forward to cooling off in some epic surf.

We hope to see you over here. Aloha!
