Barbers Point

Surf Guide

Barbers Point Beach Park is located near Makakilo City and marks the western edge of Oahu's South Shore. Because of this, Barbers Point picks up Southern Hemi swells from all directions, and it can also absorb Northern Hemi energy that has a lot of West in it (between 390-329 degrees) or has snuck under Ni'ihau and Kauai (under 285 degrees). There is a point wave that breaks directly out beyond the lighthouse, but there are a variety of peaks spread out down the beach that offer good surf, depending on swell direction. Due to Barbers Point's exposed location, wind is often a factor... and sharks, lots of them.
