A fast left-hand reef break beside the entrance channel of the Ala Wai harbour, at the east end of Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu, and one of Oahu's best south-shore waves. It needs south swell, which arrives mostly from April to October, and the north-east trade winds are offshore. Hollow and shallow, it draws a crowded, highly skilled local line-up whenever it breaks.
