Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, in the zone of maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.

The Kaiser Hawaiian Village is now the Hilton Hawaiian village but the surf spot it fronts continues to be dubbed Kaiser's after the great entrepenuer.
Crowds: The crowds are heavy and local.
Difficulty: Pretty advanced on a big day considering the fast drop and quick wall up. Remains intemediate even on the smaller days.
Hazards: Reefy reef reef and sea urchins. Watch your back and head.
Break: The good one is the right but there's a left as well that's probably better for the less experienced.
