About Publics, Hawaii:

Publics is a gentle, forgiving surf break located along the South Shore of Oahu, just east of Waikiki near the Ala Moana area. Named for its location in front of a public right-of-way, it's long been a favorite gathering spot for longboarders, families, and anyone looking for a mellow ride in warm tropical waters. With Diamond Head standing watch in the background and palm-lined shores stretching in every direction, Publics embodies the relaxed, communal soul of Hawaiian surf culture.
