About this Spot

Leftovers is a surf spot located in Oahu North Shore, Hawaii. The surf spot provides left waves. It’s considered a regional classic with a coral reef bottom. Leftovers is suitable for intermediate surfers and offers waves of regular frequency. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The spot can be surfed at all tides and typically has few surfers in the lineup. Leftovers is situated near other well-known surf spots such as Aligator Rock, Chuns Reef, Jockos Point, Laniakea, and Waimea Bay. The spot is known for its rocky terrain, so surfers should exercise caution. There have been reports of shark sightings in the area, adding an element of risk to surfing here. Parking is available behind bushes, but visibility of your vehicle from the water is limited. It’s advisable to bring a less valuable car due to potential break-ins. To find Leftovers, drive past Laniakea; it’s the beach immediately after Chuns Reef. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. When the spot is crowded, it’s crucial to respect the locals and follow proper surf etiquette. Leftovers Beach Park is a small, secluded spot accessible via a modest pullout along Kamehameha Highway. A hidden trail leads to the beach, which is framed by rocks. The name ‘Leftovers’ originated in the 1960s when surfers considered this beach a secondary option compared to neighboring spots. Swimming can be challenging due to the rocky terrain, and there are no amenities, so come prepared. During summer, the calmer waters make it suitable for snorkeling and bodyboarding. However, there are no facilities, so bring all necessary supplies. For up-to-date surf forecasts, reports, maps, and webcam information, check reliable surf resources before your visit.
