Beachfront surfing in Oahu at Hale Oli Oli 

Known for its world-famous surf breaks, Oahu has something for surfers of all skill levels. With warm waters, consistent swells, and a laid-back island vibe, Oahu is the perfect place to catch some waves and soak up the sun, and we make it easy in our beachfront estate, Hale Oli Oli. 

Oahu is home to some of the most famous surf spots in the world, such as Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach, and Pipeline. These surf breaks are not for the faint of heart, with massive waves that can reach up to 30 feet tall. But don’t worry if you’re a beginner or intermediate surfer, there are plenty of other surf spots around the island that offer smaller, more manageable waves. 

One of the best places for beginner and intermediate surfers is Waikiki Beach. With gentle waves and a long, sandy beach, Waikiki is the perfect place to learn how to surf. If you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, head to the North Shore of Oahu. During the winter months, the North Shore is home to some of the biggest waves in the world, attracting professional surfers from around the globe. But during the summer months, the North Shore offers smaller waves that are perfect for intermediate surfers. 

Surf & Stay in Maui 

Maui, known as the “Valley Isle,” is a true paradise for surfers of all skill levels. With crystal-clear waters, diverse surf breaks, and breathtaking scenery, Maui is the ultimate destination for a surfing adventure. 

The island is home to some of the most iconic surf spots in the world, such as Honolua Bay, Jaws, and Hookipa. These surf breaks attract surfers from around the globe who come to test their skills and catch some of the biggest waves in the world. 

But Maui isn’t just for the pros. There are plenty of surf spots around the island that offer smaller, more manageable waves for beginner and intermediate surfers. One of the best places for beginners is Lahaina, located on the west side of the island. With gentle waves and a sandy bottom, Lahaina is the perfect place to learn how to surf.  

For intermediate surfers looking for a bit more of a challenge, head to Kihei or Paia. These surf breaks offer consistent waves and are popular among local surfers. Paia, in particular, is known for its laid-back vibe and welcoming surf community. 

If you’re an experienced surfer looking for an adrenaline rush, head to Jaws. Located on the North Shore of Maui, Jaws is home to some of the biggest waves in the world, reaching heights of up to 60 feet. But be warned, Jaws is not for the faint of heart and should only be attempted by experienced surfers. 

Big Waves, Big Luxury on the Big Island 

Surfing at Pine Tree and Magic Sands in Hawaii is a thrilling experience that promises to leave surfers with lasting memories. Pine Tree is located on the north side of the Big Island and is known for its consistent surf breaks that cater to intermediate and advanced surfers. The spot is famous for its long, right-hand waves that offer surfers a chance to carve through the water with speed and precision. 

Magic Sands, on the other hand, is located on the west side of the Big Island and is a popular spot for beginner and intermediate surfers. The waves here are relatively gentle, and the spot is sheltered from the wind, making it a perfect place for beginners to gain confidence on the board. 

Another popular surf spot on the Big Island is Hapuna Beach. With its white sand and clear blue waters, Hapuna is a great spot for beginner and intermediate surfers alike. The waves at Hapuna are small and consistent, making it a great place to practice your skills. 

No matter where you decide to surf in Hawaii, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience. The warm waters, stunning scenery, and friendly locals make the Hawaiian Islands a paradise for surfers. So grab your board, wax it up, and get ready to catch some waves in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
