Located just off Ehukai Beach Park, Pipeline is known best for the winter months when the waves average around 10 feet (3 meters) and can reach over 25 feet (7.6 meters). You can find experienced and pro surfers in the water at this time, and several surfing competitions are held here every year, including the Billabong Pipe Masters challenge. For everyone else, the spectacle is worth watching from the safety of land.
Many Oahu sightseeing tours, including photo tours, North Shore tours, and Circle Island tours, plan a stop here, making it easy to combine Pipeline with other top attractions such as Hanauma Bay and Diamond Head, and can include a stop for snorkeling. Opt for a private tour to customize your itinerary. For a different perspective, take to the air on an island helicopter tour.
