Oahu Surfing
Before you grab your board and head out to catch some waves, check the local surf zone forcast from the National Weather Service Honolulu (973-4383) or from the Surf News Network (596-SURF).

Oahu has a great bus system! Depending on where you plan to go, you might not even need to rent a car to hit the beach. (Soft boogie boards are allowed on the bus.)
