Anyone have any experience surfing on Lanai? I'm headed there in Feb. I realize it's not a surfing destination...but it is Hawaii so must have some waves.

There is some surf on Lanai, mostly summer surf. Lanai blocks Maui from south swell, ther can be 6- to 8-foot sets on Lanai's south facing coast when Lahaina is 2-foot.

If you look at a map, Lanai is blocked from most steep N swells, there has to be alot of W in it. There are nine popular spots around the island, three on the north coast.

Go to http://asp.flipserver.net/primedia/surfermag/ to purchase the Lanai STR for further info on the spots, surf, island, accomodations, transportation, tips, etc. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/computer.gif" alt="" />

Hulopo'e Bay (sp?) is the main beach, and there's a left point. Definitely need to show respect though....Don't paddle out with a bunch of buddies. Lanai is awesome but too expensive for me.
