Gas Chambers
Surf Guide
Located between Rocky Point and Pupukea is Chambers, a fast and hollow break over shallow reef. This spot is known more for the lefts (especially on WNW to NW swells), but the rights also get good (especially on the more northerly swells). Make sure to time the sets, because paddling out on a solid day can be a nightmare, as the channels are not well defined and its super shallow in some areas.
