Location guide

Pipeline, located on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii, is arguably the most famous and definitely one of the most challenging surfing spots in the United States. It’s comprised of several surf breaks that are split into two major parts: Pipeline and Backdoor. Pipeline is a left-hand reef break and likened to a surfer's paradise while presenting professional surfers with unique challenges to conquer. The area is notorious for large, hollow, thick waves that form as a result of the spot's shallow, flat, and expansive reef. The bottom of Pipeline consists of a lava slab floor, which helps in creating these magnificent waves. The surf conditions can peak anywhere between December and February, where wave heights easily reach 20 feet. On the other hand, Backdoor is a right-hand reef break which, unlike its counterpart, provides surfers with a contrasting experience. The same powerful ocean swells are just as breathtaking, though the wave formations are known to be quite different — offering a range of riding possibilities. It shares the same reef as Pipeline, although the rideable sections vary, offering surfers an intense and rewarding surfing experience. However, the brilliance of surfing at Pipeline comes with great risk. The breaks are categorized as some of the most dangerous in the world due to the massive waves crashing over the shallow reef and the surfer traffic. The heavy swells break rapidly and violently on a reef barely inches below the water's surface, causing raging underwater currents. This makes timing and positioning vital for surfers to catch the right wave. Pipeline requires due respect, skill, and experience from those who dare to paddle out. Yet, it's the combination of these thrilling conditions, the large waves, and the mesmerizing crystal-clear Hawaiian water that make the conditions at Pipeline for surfing legendary.
