South Shore Oahu Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Continued overhead surf with groomed/good conditions in town. Top spots couple ft overhead in AM.
Dawn-10am: Biggest window of the day with S swell holding from Monday afternoon/evening, especially early. Look for widespread shoulder-head high surf, while good spots are a couple feet overhead. Standout spots/channel entrances may see the odd larger set based on early AM buoy obs. Moderate to breezy ENE trades.
Afternoon Outlook: Swell slowly settles and size + consistentcy comes down slightly. Conditions remain good/offshore in Town, bumpier for Diamond Head.

Populars Surf Guide
Just west of Canoes, and a hundred yards or so further out, lies the long, curving stretch of reef that's aptly named Populars (or Pop's). It's a peak with a decent right that peels and swings down the line with a few bowly sections towards the inside, and a shorter, fairly mushy left. Occasionally it fires, like on a big S swell.
Note: This zone has a rescue station equipped with AEDs, bleeding kits, and other emergency supplies through the Adopt a Cove program. Read more
