Conditions not favorable for surfing.
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.
Respect local surfers and hikers; pack out all trash and be mindful of the fragile coastal environment.
Insider tips from local surfers
Position yourself near the cliffs to catch the best lefts; be mindful of shifting peaks and watch for sets swinging wide.
