Surfing enthusiasts planning a Hawaii vacation in the winter can take advantage of Oahu's North Shore waves which are known to reach heights of 25 – 30 feet. Some of the most popular surfing spots on Oahu include Ehukai Beach Park, Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay.
Ehukai Beach Park attracts a number of experienced surfers and body boarders in the winter. 100 yards to the left of Ehukai Beach Park is the famous Pipeline where waves fall forward to form a near-perfect tube. World championship surf competitions are held at Pipeline as well as Banzai Beach just west of Pipeline.
Sunset Beach features waves reaching 15-20 feet from September to April, attracting surfers from all over the world. Waimea Bay, also located on Oahu's North Shore, offers some of the biggest waves for surfing.
