Ala Moana Beach Surfing
Ala Moana Beach Park has a mile-long stretch of reefs that offer a variety of waves during summer swells, making the park a surfing spot for surfers of all levels.
The reefs, however, are a fair distance from shore (about 400 yards), so you have to be prepared to paddle out all the way to the surf breaks located beyond. Allow plenty of time!
The breaks at Ala Moana Beach Park run all the way from Kewalos to Magic Island, plus across the channel to Bowls and Kaisers.
Ala Moana Courts offers consistent surf in the summer. At Ala Moana Concessions, the wave opens up both in the left and right. This break is popular with locals and can be crowded.
Whichever break at Ala Moana Beach Park you want to try, be sure to check the surf report, and, if you are a visitor, speak with a local or lifeguard before you venture into the water!
