Best time of year

Hawaii's tide range is small (about 2 feet), so calm surf matters more than the tide table. Check the surf forecast: north shores are calmest in summer, south shores in winter, and windward east shores stay trade-wind choppy year-round — go early morning.

Conditions and access change — check the park's official page and local hazard advisories before you go, and confirm the tide on the day. New to tidepools? Read how to go tidepooling safely.
