A single slab of flat lava reef just west of Backdoor, split from it by a narrow, deep crevice, Off The Wall throws a wedging right with short lefts back toward Backdoor. A slightly broken, overhead NW swell gives the almond-shaped barrels; most waves end in a closeout on shallow reef. Wannasurf's rule: never dive head first when you fall. Park at Ehukai Beach Park.
