About this spot
Oahu – Diamond Head is a kitesurf, windsurf and surf spot in the United States. Diamond Head on the south coast of Oahu is a classic wave spot for windsurfers and kiters. Access via the car parks on Diamond Head Road east of the lighthouse; a paved path leads to the beach (Kuilei Cliffs Beach Park). The trade wind usually sets in in the late morning; the more northerly it veers, the gustier it gets.
The spot works best with wind from E, NE (trade wind); the windiest period is Apr–Oct. Depending on the swell there are waves. It suits advanced riders.
