Fagans Beach

Fagans Beach is an ESE-facing beach break in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from N to ESE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 46% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the Pailolo Channel lets in swell from 189.8° (S) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 38 km out. How slot swells work
