Wailupe Beach Park

Torn about writing a review for this awesome beach!
As a surfer, I’d like to keep this gem a semi-​secret. Uncrowded waves are a rarity these days and nice to have a spot that isn’t on the radar. As a Unilocaler, I just can’t help myself! ;)
The Good:
Waves are pretty amazing to epic when the tide is right and the right swell angle is hitting the reef!(Yes, I said reef) This spot loves south groundswells. The wave is suited to both high performance surfing and logging (longboarding) alike. Lengthy rides and an uncrowded lineup make Wailupe a pretty amazing place to surf.
The Bad:
Getting here is tough unless you have a key or live in Wailupe Cir. Most people park across the street in the Aina Haina Foodland parking lot and walk across. (This is probably what keeps the crowds away!) This is also not the best beach to sun or swim because of the ruggedness of this part of the coast.
The Ugly:
The paddle is a long one out to the peak can be a gnarly reef break especially when it’s low tide and the swell is pumping like today. I’d highly recommend only intermediate to expert surfers out here because it breaks over a shallow, jagged and unforgiving reef. Then again, what really great wave doesn’t have risk? Did I also mention the fish? Tales of some large fish have been spotted here.
The Recap:
Wailupe is a semi-​secret awesome wave that’s tough to get to. (Good because we don’t want this place to turn into Waikiki… lol)
It’s a technical wave when there’s a pumping swell with certain tide conditions.
So, if you’re reading this and you’re a surfer… keep this one a secret and I’ll see you out in the water!
Mahalo for the read,
