Magics

Magics is a surf spot located in Big Island, Hawaii. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s known for its powerful and hollow shore break that attracts many bodyboarders. Magics breaks over a sharp and shallow coral reef, making it suitable for advanced surfers. The spot is surfable at all tides, but caution is advised due to the presence of urchins, rips, rocks, and local surfers.

A lifeguard is on duty year-round, ensuring safety for beachgoers. The spot is located just north of mile marker 4 on Ali’i Drive. It’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out. When the spot is crowded, it’s crucial to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. For bodyboarders, it’s safer to enter and exit the water from the cove.
