About This Spot

Home to the famous Banzai Pipeline, one of the world's most powerful and dangerous waves. Located on Oahu's North Shore at Ehukai Beach Park, Pipeline produces heavy, barreling lefts that break over a shallow reef. The wave also features "Backdoor" rights. Only expert surfers should attempt this break due to the dangerous conditions. Best during winter months with north to northwest swells.
