United States · Hawaii
Overview
Moku'Auia (Goat Island) is a kitesurfing spot on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, near Laie. This small islet and adjacent beach offer exposed conditions to the open ocean with north swell in winter and northeast trade winds year-round. The coral reef creates varied riding zones. Advanced level required due to reef, waves, and currents. Preserved natural setting on this less touristy part of Oahu.
