Kiholo Bay surf guide

Kiholo Bay is a unique surf spot located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's surrounded by beautiful landscapes and offers a mix of wave options for surfers. The setting is pretty laid-back, making it a nice place to catch some waves without the usual crowds you might find at more popular spots. This gives Kiholo Bay a chill vibe, suitable for surfers looking to enjoy the ocean in a more relaxed atmosphere.

The surf at Kiholo Bay works best with northwest swells, but you can also catch rides with west and north swells. The waves range from around 1 meter (3 ft) and can handle sizes up to about 3 meters (10 ft). The break is mostly over uneven reef and offers both left and right waves. It's good to know that the optimal winds come from the southeast, and you can surf during low, mid, or high tides. Overall, the surf here is beginner-friendly, with options for all surfing levels.

An interesting note about Kiholo Bay is the combination of its scenic beauty and the nearby Four Seasons resort, which adds to the laid-back feeling of the area. Even though the waves can be inconsistent, especially at the righthand pointbreak on the north end of the bay, there's still a decent chance to score some fun rides. Just keep an eye on the conditions, and you might find a good set coming through.
