Why surfers love Lihue

SurfSpotGuide lists 4 surf shops in Lihue. Lihue is on Kauai's east (windward) shore. Shop staff can tell you what the ocean is doing today, but a rental board isn't a lesson: if you're new to surfing, book a school rather than paddling out alone.

Planning tips before you visit

Hawaii Ocean Safety notes that on east (windward) shores, strong trade winds can create large, rough waves in both summer and winter. Conditions change day to day. Check the National Weather Service Honolulu surf forecast (weather.gov/hfo), and ask the lifeguard on duty or your school before going in.

Services & gear you'll find here

What each shop rents or sells varies, so check the listings above or call ahead. If you're renting, ask the shop where it's safe to surf that day for your ability, and what's on the bottom there.

FAQs about surf shops in Lihue

Hawaii Ocean Safety notes that on east (windward) shores, strong trade winds can create large, rough waves in both summer and winter. Conditions change day to day.

It's safer not to. Hawaii Ocean Safety advises swimming near a lifeguard, checking with them about conditions before going in, and watching for sharp rocks and coral on the ocean floor. If you're new, take a lesson: the instructor picks a spot that suits the day and your ability.

The National Weather Service Honolulu office (weather.gov/hfo) publishes the surf forecast and high-surf warnings for every island, and Hawaii Ocean Safety keeps the official list of lifeguarded beaches. For the beach in front of you, ask the lifeguard on duty.
