   In January, the surf is on the north shore, so that means the Turtle Bay Resort. It is the hotel that was used in the recent film “Leaving Sarah Marshall”. There is not much night life on the north shore though. You might need to break up your vacation & spend a few nights at Turtle Bay & a few nights in Waikiki. But any novice surfers need to be very cautious about surfing on the north shore in January. They might be better off in Waikiki.

   If you go to Oahu stay at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore; there are huge waves on the North Shore. Small waves can be found on Waikiki and there are tons of hotels on Waikiki. And there is alot of nightlife.

   During winter (Nov – March) the waves break on the North Shore & get really big but you can always find some place with smaller waves away from the North Shore swell. Kaanapali Beach or Ritz Carlton Kapalua or Kapalua Bay Hotel & Villas (hotels & condos)

   Why not find one near North Shore on Oahu, where the surfing is great?
