About

Let’s Go Surfing gives a quick read on whether it’s worth paddling out. Enter a Hawaiʻi ZIP code (or use location) to see nearby spots ranked by distance, plus conditions and a simple recommendation.

How to read the icons
  • Waves (ft) Estimated wave height.
  • Period (s) Time between waves. Higher usually means more power.
  • Wind Offshore is generally cleaner; onshore can get choppy.
  • Swell direction (°) Where the swell is coming from — affects which coasts work best.
  • Location Nearest spots are sorted by distance from your ZIP/location.
Recommendations
  • GO Worth checking—conditions look favorable for this spot.
  • MAYBE Could be fun, but watch wind/size/timing.
  • NO Not recommended—likely too small, messy, or unsafe.

Tips and scoring are a guide, not a guarantee—local factors can change everything.

Safety

Before you paddle out
  • Watch at least 10–15 minutes for sets, currents, and cleanup waves.
  • Check wind on the beach (not just the forecast) and look for whitecaps/chop.
  • Know the entry/exit and hazards (reef, rocks, shorebreak, crowds).
  • If you’re unsure, ask a lifeguard or experienced locals where it’s safe to enter.
