The Surfing Hawaii is renowned for huge, barrelling surf in its winter season. The North Shore of Oahu has some of the best surf in the Islands. Being located in the mid-Pacific, with no continental shelf to restrict swell advancement, the surf is generally powerful, consistent and sizeable. The North Shore's season begins in October and peaks out in February, though there can still be large surf as late as March. Swells back off through April and May, with June through August expected to be flat.
Trade winds are semi-offshore in the main surf area of the north shore.
During these months, incredible waves can be found on other islands throughout the Hawaiian Island chain, usually without the crowds. Best swells are from the south with light NorthEast or North trades.
