Molokai surf guide

Molokai is a chill surf spot that offers some decent waves, especially when the swell is just right. It's a pretty laid-back area, so you can expect a friendly vibe. The beach itself is nice and not too crowded, making it a great place to catch some waves without all the hassle.

For surfing, Molokai handles swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) quite well, with optimal conditions coming from the north. You can catch both left and right breaking waves here, but it’s mostly suited for beginners and those who enjoy a casual ride. The best times to paddle out are during mid to high tide, especially when the winds are blowing from the south. The breaks are over sand, making it a softer landing if you happen to wipe out.

This spot is perfect for small swell days and is often just what you need when other places are flat. It can serve up some fun waves, especially if you're longboarding. If you're looking for a less crowded experience and a chance to improve your skills, Molokai is worth a visit.
