The warmest thing you could wear in these waters is a spring wetsuit and you won’t even need that.

Best time to TravelSpring time is the

best time to visit the North Shore because there’s still plenty of swell and all of the pro’s left

Winter has the greatest amount of swell which is why it’s so popular and why it will be crowded that time of year.
