- Urchins
- Rocks
Park in Ala Moana Beach parking lot, walk out to end of Magic Island and paddle out from the enclosed lagoon and to the right, past Bomboras. Be careful of nearby shallow reef.
Atmosphere
A wide peak: If you go right you are on Baby Haleiwa's. If you go left you are on Big Lefts. At High Tide it is mushy and weak do it is Best at low or mid tides unless the swell is very big. Very shallow reef when you go in.
General
Starts working well at head high and holds up to double head high or more, So it needs more than your average swell and doesn't break good that often.

Rockpiles ? - I knew this spot as Rockpiles which is easy to figure out when you surf it. I surfed it fit two years in the mid 90's when I could walk from my house to this spot in minutes. It's a great left and just serious enough to keep out the kooks and not a lot of hassel from the locals. No hu hu. Ahroha boo.
