NORTH
BEACH
AND
PYRAMID
ROCK
SURF
BREAK
INFO:
Great
beach
on
MCBH.
North
Beach
is
the
eastern
most
beach,
and
Pyramid
Rock
is
the
western
side.
It's
about
a
mile
between
the
two
spots.
These
two
spots
house
arguably
the
best
surf
breaks
on
the
windward
side
of
the
island.
Pyramid
is
a
rocky
outcropping
reef
break,
with
lefts
and
rights
depending
on
swell.
The
reef
here
doesn't
change
much,
it's
a
little
windier
than
North
Beach
but
on
light
wind
days
with
swell
it
can
get
epic.
Plenty
of
tiger
sharks
spotted
here
in
the
line
up,
as
the
entrance
to
Kaneohe
Bay
is
right
around
the
corner
from
the
rock
North
Beach
has
many
moods
and
faces.
In
the
wintertime
large
Northwest
swells
deposit
a
bunch
of
sand
here
that
covers
the
reef.
This
can
be
a
blessing
or
a
curse
depending
on
swell,
direction,
and
winds.
When
the
sandbars
are
in
full
effect,
the
waves
can
get
very
good
and
heavy
but
also
will
detonate
on
the
inside
and
can
easily
snap
a
board
or
break
bones.
North
Beach
is
typically
a
very
good
wave
and
will
always
be
more
crowded
than
Pyramid.
During
the
Spring
time
the
sand
moves
out
and
the
reef
becomes
exposed
again.
This
typically
helps
the
wave
hold
up
nicely
even
with
onshore
winds.
The
water
is
also
deeper
when
the
reef
is
exposed,
and
the
wave
will
be
a
bit
slopier.
Despite
being
on
a
military
base,
both
of
these
breaks
can
produce
some
world
class
waves
and
along
with
those
some
extremely
talented
surfers.
If
you
are
a
beginner
or
don't
know
the
etiquette
it's
best
to
only
go
out
on
smaller
days.
Plenty
of
heated
arguments
occur
here
during
swells,
and
there
are
several
guys/gals
who
pay
their
dues
here
and
surf
every
day,
even
when
conditions
are
less
than
ideal.
Pay
attention
to
the
flags
and
listen
to
the
lifeguards.
Depending
on
conditions,
sometimes
the
beach
will
stay
open
even
during
a
large
heavy
swell.
It
may
look
inviting,
but
if
you
don't
know
what
you're
doing
you
get
seriously
hurt
or
drown
The
beaches
themselves
are
a
good
spot
to
hang
out,
have
family
days
and
drink
some
beers.
Dogs
are
allowed
on
the
beach
anytime
after
1500.
