We stopped at the Haleiwa Beach Park on the west end of the North Shore surfing area. Of course, this time of year, the waves are small. November through January are the really big waves when the north winds kick in…. Yesterday, the north shore was almost calm, but today there is a 2-3 foot surf building.

Just a spectacular view of the volcanic ridge to the west of the beach

This is the more protected part of the beach, for the swimmers….
