Hi All,
Heading off to Oahu, Hawaii at the end of the week and was wondering what the west coast was like in terms of crowd factor and number of spots. According to what I can find online it looks like there are only about 5 or 6 locations, but I guess if you were to look at a surf map of the Goldie there would only be a few of the stand out spots.

Last time I was in Hawaii the kids were little and I just grovelled around Waikiki. The daughter is now a 16 yo frother, but she like me hates having to fight and hassle for a wave and I don't really want to mix it with the all the hotties on the north shore and around Waikiki I believe is a bit onshore this time of year and always super crowded.

So if I rented a car for a day or two are we likely to stumble across a fairly user friendly, not too busy spot somewhere on that side of the island?
