Whalers Anchorage is a surf spot that offers a fair amount of consistency throughout the winter months. It’s known for catching swells from the same direction as the north shore of Oahu, making for decent right-hand waves. The area is not too crowded, which can be a plus for surfers looking to catch some waves without the hassle of heavy crowds.

The waves here generally handle sizes around 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). The optimal swell direction is Northwest, but it also picks up swells from the West and North. You can expect right-hand reef breaks, which can be fun for intermediate surfers. The best wind direction is Southeast, and the tide can be suitable at low, mid, or high levels. When the swell is smaller, you'll find some mellow ripples that are easy to ride, making it a nice spot for a more relaxed session.

The bottom consists of user-friendly coral rubble over flat reef, which is good for keeping things comfortable under your board. Overall, Whalers Anchorage can be a fun and laid-back spot for surfers looking to enjoy some quality waves.
