conditions & access

Season

South-shore swell

Water

Deep-water paddle-out to reef wave

Experience

Low-intermediate visiting prone foiler with current local condition and crowd checks

Hazards

Deep-water stair entry still requires a clean paddle/exit plan; exact reef or bottom depth, current, crowd separation and working tide are not documented in the forum guidance.

Parking & access

Use current Kakaʻako Beach Park access. Forum guidance identifies stairs down to deep water, but it does not establish parking entitlement, gate hours or the exact takeoff.

“Community favorite with stair access to deeper water and a prone-friendly wave. Progression Project forum Oʻahu guidance identifies Flies at Kakaʻako Beach Park as a strong prone option, with stairs reaching deep-water paddle-out access and a useful prone wave.”
