Rising tide with 5.5 ft swell energy.
Kalapaki Beach in Līhue is a crescent of golden sand sheltered by a breakwall that tames the waves and creates calm waters perfect for swimming and learning to surf. Surfers enjoy small, fun peaks near the river mouth and harbor entrance on modest east or northeast swells. The beach fronts a resort with amenities, making it a family-friendly spot but still requiring awareness of currents near the harbor.
Share the lineup with beginners and be courteous to resort guests; respect private property signs along the access path.
Insider tips from local surfers
Stay near the harbor entrance to catch the bigger sets; the waves are soft, so use a longboard or foam board for better glide.
