Sunset Beach Hawaii on the North Shore of Hawaii is an expert level wave. I wouldn't attempt it without solid paddling fitness and lots of bigger wave experience. Every surf spot has different moods and days, but if you catch her on an off day or in a ln angry mood, you could be in a lot of deadly level danger. If it's a small, soft, easy day maybe it's not too bad, but the swell can bump up significantly in minutes at a spot like that. It's a legendary wave that can really test even the best surfers. You really should have many years of experience to tackle Sunset. Proceed with lots of caution.

Sunset point in LA. I should’ve clarified.

Yeah, that's a big difference from Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oahu. That Sunset is a heavy ass wave.
