South Shore Oahu Forecast

Today

Holding, fun size surf. Lully with swell better aimed to the east of HI. Clean in town.

S-SSE swell through the day. Far from a direct hit on Hawaii (much better aimed at the Americas), so just expect to do some waiting on sets.

Average breaks breaks see waves in the waist-chest high range while top spots see sets in the head high to gently overhead range.

Trades persist for clean conditions in town, but bumpier for Diamond Head.

Populars Surf Guide

Just west of Canoes, and a hundred yards or so further out, lies the long, curving stretch of reef that's aptly named Populars (or Pop's). It's a peak with a decent right that peels and swings down the line with a few bowly sections towards the inside, and a shorter, fairly mushy left. Occasionally it fires, like on a big S swell.

Note: This zone has a rescue station equipped with AEDs, bleeding kits, and other emergency supplies through the Adopt a Cove program. Read more
