Along the Road to Hana there’s a little area called Ke’anae where the waves absolutely pound the north shore. There’s also a “world famous” banana bread stand there, so we stopped for a bite before walking to the rocks.
It had been raining, so everything was kind of dulled, but in a way it made the waves more impressive as they came crashing into the rocks.

Alex and Kyra waded out a bit and enjoyed the surf.

For some reason, the waves make especially spectacular splashes at one point, often surging twenty or thirty feet into the air.

For some reason, I love watching the waves.

Kyra waded out to another area, but couldn’t go too far because the incoming water was looking a little dangerous. Here’s a smallish wave hitting the outer rocks:

Along the “beach”, the black lava rocks are continually rolled by the waves, making them smooth. The sound they make as they cascade over each other is really fun.
