Hultin's Surf Guide
Hultin's is really outside Laniakea, positioned just west of what is the top of Jocko's and east of the more regular Laniakea takeoff zone. Like Laniakea, Hultin's is a righthander that will meld into Laniakea proper, especially during the more favorable northerly angled swells strike the North Shore.
