About Pine Trees
Pine Trees (Kohanaiki) on the Big Island's Kona coast is the best everyday surf spot on Hawaii Island. The lava rock reef produces a variety of peaks—rights, lefts, and A-frames—across a wide stretch of coastline. The wave is powerful but not too heavy, making it accessible for intermediate surfers while still offering enough juice for advanced riders. The black lava landscape, dry climate, and crystal-clear water make it feel worlds apart from the lush, green North Shore.

This Week's Outlook
Tuesday morning looks like your best bet with 4ft waves, long 15-second intervals, and that cross-onshore flow hitting right around low tide at 10:17. The period drops throughout the week, so I'd get on it early before things get choppier.
