Additional Information
This spot is in between The Winch and Suicides on Diamondhead. If you are standing on the Diamondhead beach park paddle out the channel to your right and the reef break to the right is graveyards. The Left starts right over the outside reef and is gets hollow and fast on the inside, but very shallow.
Atmosphere
This is a hollow, fast, left that breaks very shallow. But that why this spot is crowded when you paddle out and your number three in the line up. Most of the time your by your self, just wondering why the crowd of 12, two hundred yards to the left at "tongs" doesn't come over.
General
Awesome clean left that is one of the only unspoiled non crowded spots on the south shore left.

LOCAL - Graveyards is local. Intended to stay that way. Respect should be given to those who grew up at that spot. You should be so fortunate to score good gravies.
wait your turn and no shoulder hoppin.

Beware of Schmoozer Alley - The only drawback to surfing here and Suicides, is if you surf here a lot, the physical fitness fanatics who hang out on the wall - right where you need to walk - will think you live in Diamond Head and will try to befriend you thinking you are rich and they can somehow schmooze thier way into the upper classes. I am not rich but rented an apartmnet near there for a year and snuck out for a surf when I wasn't working or overseas - not social hour - just mindin' my own biz an goin for a quick surf. But these homo(sapiens) would sit in their exercise house and be like hey, you live in DH - can I be your friend? And if you weren't chummy with them, they'd lose it and get aggro! WTF?! Surf spot, or social pressure conform zone! Bunch of schmoozin looser freaks. Surf AND get a life!

I am the Wizard, Gravy's/Sui's local and also a previous resident of the Muscle House, or Big Mama's house. Lyn passed away two years ago in August, rest her soul. The Gym is no longer active, and our tight crew disbanded with her passing, so this must have been a long time ago. We rehab'd hurt older people with injuries, and also train there MMA, this was the "Fight House". There is NO possibility that ANYONE there would want to be your friend. nobody in that house was poor, and surely would not schmooze up to some KOOK that got lucky enough to live in "PUA LEI- Circle" and thinks they made it....I know Everybody in that Neighborhood and If you don't feel comfortable in my Nieghborhood, that's a sign that you shouldn't surf there.It IS HIGHLY localized and I don't reccomend anyone to come here at all. Ever been choked out? well, even the girls that lived here would submit you in a hurry:)
Open displays of friendship are common with us NICE people. If you were a DICK in return than I'm sure it was your own bad attitude that keeps you from excelling in life. Please never come back to Gravies. Big mamma was short, bald, super tan, ripped like Arnold, and Black belt in Jiu Jitsu.A fight with her would be two hits, her hitting you...and you hitting the ground!
