The North Shore Surf Calendar
Winter Season
This is when the North Shore comes alive. Massive swells generated by Pacific storms send 20-to-40-foot waves crashing onto the reef at Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay. The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing — the sport's most prestigious series — takes place during this window, drawing the world's best to compete at Haleiwa, Sunset, and Pipeline. It's the best time to visit if you want to witness surfing at its most dramatic.
Summer Season
The North Shore transforms into a calm, turquoise paradise. The same beaches that host monstrous winter waves become flat, crystal-clear swimming spots perfect for families. Shark's Cove becomes one of the best snorkeling destinations on the island. Waimea Bay turns into a calm lagoon ideal for cliff jumping and swimming. It's the perfect time for a relaxed beach vacation.
