Kauai Island Surf Reports & Cams

Aloha and welcome to Surfline’s Kauai Surf Reports and Surf Cams – the most comprehensive and reliable source for Kauai surf reports and surf cams.

There’s a reason you don’t see too many headlines coming out of Kauai. An island rich in surf resources, local surfers have done an excellent job over the years minimizing its exposure on most surf maps. Both the north and south shores of the island are holding some A-plus surf. In the summer months, the area around Poipu comes to life with clean, playful south swells. Things get considerably more serious in the winter when northwest swells hit the north shore of Kauai. The pristine Na Pali coast offers a glimpse of the true, raw beauty still on offer in some of the more remote corners of the Hawaiian islands. From Andy and Bruce Irons, to Bethany Hamilton, to Alana Blanchard and Sebastian Zietz, some of Hawaii’s top talent has emerged from the Garden Isle in recent years. Like so many spots throughout the Hawaiian Islands, the island of Kauai is affected by dramatic swings of the tide, swell angle, swell period, as well as wind direction and wind speed.
