Olowalu
Edit SpotAbout
its one of my favorites!
Atmosphere:
there are actually 3 waves here. 2 are lefts, and the other is a left and a right. this wave can get really heavy on a big swell. the best is a solid 3-4 foot backside swell. have fun.
Additional Info:
you can park right on the side of the road. this is a great break for everyone. i love it
