READING THE SEA…

Is it worth a session at Nawiliwili, Kauai?

At 1.5 m it's solidsolid, powerful surf — better suited to confident, experienced surfers. The swell period is on the shorter side, so expect choppier, weaker surf than the height alone might imply. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 25.9°C — warm.
