Portlock Beach

Caught more than a couple sweet nuggets (waves) here on more than one occasion.
The Good:
Beautiful views, uncrowded waves, and tons of privacy on the tiny strips of sand… lol.
The wave is a fun one! Not too fast or crazy. I’ve seen a boat drop off a surf class here once.
Lefts and rights. Peaks can be split with friends.
The Bad:
Paddling out to the lineup is a doozy! It’s got to be close to ¾ of a mile to get out there.
The beach itself is postage stamp tiny. Little patches of sand that share a very rocky coastline.
The Ugly:
Your feet can be torn to shreds on a low tide wading through the shallows to get to water deep enough to start the very long paddle out to the peak.
The Recap:
If you love privacy, this spot is for you. Find access between the million dollar beach properties to get to the sand and water. Beach towel real estate is super limited though. The shallows out to the waves are a killer to the feet.
Mahalo for the read,
