Radz is an exposed offshore coral-reef break on Oahu’s North Shore, producing both left- and right-hand waves. Rides commonly reach roughly 300-500 metres, with exceptional waves exceeding 500 metres. It begins working around 1.8-2.4 m and can hold 4.9 m and above. The break works through all tide stages, with northwest swell and southeast wind preferred. Winter, especially January, is the most consistently clean period, while summer is often flat.
Fast, hollow rights over sharp reef that punishes hesitation and low tide.
