A really decent picture of Leftovers Leftovers is named like it is because it's a much more foregiving wave with less quality than the typical North Shore surf spot. Be prepaerd for lots of paddleing, it's easy to get caught inside out here for 5-6 waves in a row. Predominantly a slopey left, (with an occasional right if you don't mind getting caught inside) it is a very "facey" wave, not to much lip usually. There is a inside section,a more shallow, reef-ledge area also known as "Nobu's left." This is not to say Leftovers doesn't get good, it does! On a nice 4-6 foot west swell it can peel for quite a nice distance. (But you won't catch any pros out here usually!) It breaks from about 3-6 foot, then it starts closing out. Beware of the urchin-filled inside reef on low tide!!!!! You need to paddle in and out either to the far right of the break, or to the far left. Do not go straight in or out from the break, especially on low tide, or you will be doing the sea-urchin dance for quite some distance. Sometimes Leftovers can be tasty! Unridden waves go through Leftovers on the North Shore of Oahu.
Leftovers is located just Northeast of Chuns, and is usually not very crowded. As the name implies, its a left breaking wave over shallow reef. On days when the swell exceeds 7 feet, it breaks further out as a thick longboard wave...then transforms into a hollow barreling wave over the reef. There is a nice deep channel to the left of the break where you can take a good breather before your next epic ride.
Just past leftovers you'll find rightovers, which breaks right into a shallow channel, and is normally best suited for longboards.
Alligator Rock is the right breaking wave on the opposite side of the channel from leftovers. This high performance wave can throw some mean barrels when the conditions are right.
The current can be strong at all of these breaks, and if you relax too long, it will pull you in too deep and leave you stranded on the shallow inside. Just keep your bearing and stay in position.
Park in the small dirt lot right in front of the channel where you can see the surf break.
The entry into the channel is very rocky, which is probably what keeps a lot of surfers away. Just take it slow and time it right.
L'isola della capitale Honolulu e della famosa baia di Pearl Harbour è decisamente la più trafficata dell'arcipelago. Traffico spesso pesante. Honolulu è una vera metropoli. Le zone più interessanti corrispondono alla costa orientale (protetta da un ampia catena montuosa) ed alla sezione nord-occidentale (alcune riserve naturali). CLIMA: Temperato, non si scende quasi mai sotto i venti gradi.
