Three's

Surf Guide

Three's is located almost a half mile directly off the rock jetty in front of the Shore Bird Restaurant and Beach Bar, between other fun Waikiki surf spots Populars and Four's. Often considered slightly superior to Four's, Three's can really turn on during a solid South swell, offering up clean, racy right-handers that can barrel quite nicely. As with all of Waikiki's surf spots, Three's can get crowded with all types of surfers, from beginner to ultra advanced -- especially the latter when the waves are good. Unlike nearby Four's however, Three's has a deep channel at wave's end that often makes for clean trips back out to the line-up.
