Secrets

Secrets is a surf spot located in Big Island, Hawaii. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s also known as Toes and is situated near Kawaiku’i Beach Park. Secrets features offshore reefs that offer relatively uncrowded surfing opportunities. The spot is characterized by a coral reef bottom and is considered a regional classic. Surfing conditions are best during medium and high tides. The spot sometimes breaks, with wave lengths less than 50m. Secrets is suitable for intermediate surfers and typically has an empty lineup. Optimal surfing conditions occur with south swells, though southeast and southwest swells can also produce rideable waves. The ideal swell size is around 2 feet. Surfers should be prepared for longer paddle outs to reach the breaks. It’s important to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Be aware of potential hazards such as rip currents, sharp rocks, urchins, and sharks. The area is privately owned, so respect for property and local regulations is crucial. Access to the spot involves a walk down to a cliff and a challenging climb down. The paddle out to the break can be dangerous. The actual surf break is fast and can produce massive barrels over the reef. Nearby surf spots include Kolekole, Hakalau, Papaikou Mill, Honoli’i, and Tombstones. When surfing Secrets or any crowded spot, it’s essential to follow proper surf etiquette. Always check the surf forecast, report, and map before your session. Remember to respect the locals and the environment. While the spot offers exciting waves, safety should be your top priority when surfing at Secrets.
