Spot Guide
Ala Moana Bowls is a reef break located on Oahu's south shore, offering consistent, well-formed waves with a distinctive bowl-shaped formation that creates fun, playful peaks. The break works best during winter months when southern swells wrap around the island, providing solid shoulders and manageable sections suitable for intermediate surfers. Protected by the Ala Moana reef structure, the waves peel predictably and offer a great alternative to the more famous nearby breaks when you want a bit more elbow room.

Skip the dawn patrol — 2-3ft and fair early on. Later in the day looks more promising — 3-4ft and fair - good.
Hold off if you can — morning starts out poor with 1-2ft waves. Afternoon shapes up better with 2-3ft and fair conditions.
Expect 2-3ft all day on ENE swell at 10s with barely a breath of wind — nothing amazing but surfable.
Aim for the middle of the day — 2-3ft on SSE swell at 12s with calm winds. It's a bit wonky first thing but settles down.
Early morning is your best window — 2-3ft waves on S swell at 12s with glassy conditions. Things get a bit scrappier as the day goes on.
