About a quarter mile past Sunset Beach on Kam Highway going towards Haleiwa, you will spot a big Indian Head Tiki carved out of wood on the left (huge, 2 story monster with colorful beach towels and sarrongs flapping below it). Turn into the small street on the right across from the statue. Then take a quick left and your on the 'back road.' Go down to the second public right of way between the houses and you have found PUPUKEA. Lock you car and bring everything you want to keep down to the beach with you. Car plunging is rife down here in the winter months.
Pupukeas is one of the best high-performance rights on Oahu. The flat shallow reef sits at just the right angle for the NorthWest swell to peel into crystal clear fast barrels. The reef is made up of the same magic that is home to Pipeline, Rocky Point, and many other of the world's best surf breaks located on this short strip of nature's myracle.
With goodness comes crowds. You'll rarely see a wave go unridden here and for a good reason. Put yourself in the right position and paddle it out with the others.
On big days Pupukea turns into a monster barrel wave with strong currents in the channel that can make it tricky to get in or out. In the channel you'll normally find a sandbar that provides shorebreak style waves for some quick fun rides.
Park along the Kam highway near the metal rail for the bike path or find a parking spot in the neighborhod (limited).
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.
