Island Living

Surfing is a way of life in Hawaii, and some of the best surfers in the world grew up surfing the Hawaiian surf breaks. On Oahu, there is a surf spot for every level of surfer. If you’ve never surfed before or are a beginner, we recommend taking a lesson before embarking on the waves by yourself! Below are a few of the most beginner-friendly surf breaks on Oahu.

  • Canoes

    Canoes is a beginner friendly surf spot in Waikiki by the Duke Kahanamoku statue. Usually there will be surf at this spot all year round and is a fairly safe spot for beginners because of it’s smaller waves and sandy bottom. Lessons are easy to find here, but beware this spot can be crowded!

  • Castles

    Located at Malaekahana Bay just north of Laia, Castles is a great surf spot for novice surfers. The protected bay offers great surfing that is usually not very crowded. This is a reef break so beware of the rocky bottom! Malaekahana Bay also offers a quiet campground with bathroom amenities and an outdoor shower.

  • White Plains

    The sandy bottom and manageable sized waves at White Plains make this spot a great place for beginner surfers. This surf spot is located on the west side of the island in Ewa Beach. After your surf, this beach is great for a picnic, gathering, or just lounging on the sandy beach.
