You notice all the people saying I know the spot but wont blow it up...maybe take a cue from those guys.dude, it sounds just like bigger heavier warmer and better lido beach. the entire east coast shows up here when there's a big ass solid storm off shore and north winds blowing. plenty of talent in the water, and plenty of burning. I'm talking HUNDREDS of people battling across a mile of beach, some buoys, sure, but plenty of aggressive skilled surfers too... but really there are only 2-3 main peaks that get all the crowd, cause those peaks are for whatever reason 3-5 feet bigger than every where else, and hollow and grindy as a muhfkuer. I'm not ACTUALLY comparing them, all I'm saying is, I know how to get waves in a scary ass crowd at a heavy spot. I mean bro, I get set waves at Hanalei. on a 6'9.Bring on Honolua and the 18th at Kapalua, pit bulls optional but preferred. Sounds like a fukking blast, and I'll deal with the crowds.

All it takes is one good one that's bending around you. I'll forever remember my one. Magical place, but I'll never go back.
Bring a thick/flat shortboard. You don't need a lot of rocker, you need paddle speed. Everybody is hover paddling as hard as they possibly can. It's crazy. I've never seen people levitate while paddling.

id still be sitting on the boat at a doh cloudbreak.
just googled cloudbreak! secrets out now suckersSorry for spoiling a secret spot
6 1 step up style hypto. Seems to have a pretty flat entry rocker and goes really fast and holds a rail really well in steep pockets. Caveat being I am NOT a design forum guy, there may be hundreds of boards out there better suited for me to surf H,,,,,,a Bay (there is that better?)
I just got back from there. Best wave I've ever surfed. Tanner was still ripping it. I showed up, third day surfing it, and wind was a bit sideways. A bunch of people paddled in. A local I got friendly with who was smoking some pakalolo on the cliff looked at the sun and then over to me and said "wind's about to straighten out". He was right. Thanksgiving day was best I got it.
When it's small there the reefs next to X (that Marzo spot) get fun.
One evening the crowd magically cleared out and it was just two of my friends and two bodyboarders. We got in rotation and hooted each other through barrel after barrel and turn after turn until it was pitch black. Saw one of my friends get a crazy triple barrel going max speed. Only about 30-35 minutes of that emptiness but head high to a few feet overhead. That was memorable too.
We went to Oahu Feb 20th to March 7th 2020. Really wonderful weather in Hawaii at that time - we had always gone in July or August when the kids were out of school and it could be quite hot - the local people every time said it had never been that hot before but after the 4th trip hearing that we decided to try a different season. As we were flying out of NY in February I realized that at that time of year we can get a good storm in NY, lose power and if I'm not home to set up the generator, freeze our pipes. So we're going end of March instead in 2022 - staying at the Moana Surfrider again - love that place! Could still get a storm in NY but daytime temps are higher - unlikely that anything would freeze.
