Very interesting project and a big thing for lower Puna. Wonder what the situation will be regarding lifeguards and other perhaps DOT Harbors Division officials trying to keep swimmers and surfers out of this area. Or whether they will pass on trying to control it. If I recall correctly, there was not a significant issue with swimmers/surfers and boats conflicting before Pohoiki was lost, few injuries, but I could be wrong on that.
There might be a rideable wave for a short distance traveling into this basin. Surfers are notoriously difficult to control. Some paddle out before it even gets light; officials designated to limit access find a dozen people already in the water when the sun comes up.
