Overview
Keei is a remote left-hand reef break in Hawaii, tucked away to the south and also known as Shark Point or Palemano Point. It offers fast, small-size lefts that break over shallow live coral, and reaching the lineup means a long paddle out to the point.
When It Works
The reef pulls in swell from south through north (S-N), with a southwest (SW) swell the best match, and it lights up in both south and northwest swells. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft and stays moderately consistent.
Wind and Tide
Look for an east (E) offshore wind. The reef breaks through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is an expert's wave, with fast sections firing over shallow coral that leave little room for error. Expect a moderately busy lineup when it works, though the crowd factor runs lower than the Kailua breaks. The long paddle out also puts you among plenty of sea-life.
Access
Parking is free and roadside.
