South Shore Oahu Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Size is on the decline this AM but fun to mid-sized (at standouts) waves on offer. Mellow trades.
S swell mix eases, although surf in chest to head high range can be expected at breaks with decent exposure this morning. Standouts will see leftover sets to a foot or two overhead early, trending down through the afternoon (but sets to head high/slightly overhead at standouts all day).
Trades start to pick back up through the day - light this morning and clean to even glassy in some areas- then groomed in town through the afternoon.

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
