Best Waikiki Hotels for Surfing

By Sparky

The Waikiki Beach area is home to some pretty diverse surf spots, offering something for board riders of all skill levels. Each break has a name, including Publics, Queens, Canoes, Threes, Fours, Kaisers, and a few more depending on the local braddah or sistah you ask. Of course, the variety of surf here is only matched (and then some) by the number of hotels, and when you’ve got surfing on your itinerary you want to make sure it’s convenient to where you stay. There’s nothing quite like sauntering out of your hotel at the break of dawn, grabbing some java, and taking a few short steps to the sand and surf. Today, we’re providing you with a quick list of accommodations to consider, blending a mix of both luxury and budget-conscious places to stay that will have you up and riding within minutes of leaving your lobby.

Best Time of Year to Surf Waikiki – What Beginners Need to Know

By Sparky

So you’re searching for information about the best time of the year to surf Waikiki. That means you’re either planning your trip around the answer, or you’ve already booked your HNL arrival and want to know what to expect before you saunter out of your hotel and head for the beach. While any of the 365 days of the year is great for people of all skill levels, there are indeed some things for beginners to consider with the passing of each season. For one, you should stick to the consistent surf spot known as Canoes, which is a reef break with a sand and coral bottom that is world famous yet absolutely welcoming to malihini (newcomers). Facing the ocean, it’s located directly behind the Duke Kahanamoku Statue, which is not-so-coincidently where you’ll find Sparky’s Surf School conducting the day’s wave riding symphony. Here’s what else you need to know.
