Diamond Head (Cliffs)

About This Spot

Diamond Head Cliffs is a long stretch of reef along the slopes of Leʻahi where multiple peaks offer rippable lefts and occasional rights. The waves are consistent year-round and handle a variety of swell directions, but they break over sharp lava and coral that require confident paddling and knowledge of the currents. Getting there involves a hike down the bluff and a long paddle, and the lineup can be crowded when the south swell pulses.
