Hulopoʻe Beach

Hulopoʻe Beach is an S-facing beach break in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the Alenuihaha Channel lets in swell from 107.2° (ESE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 52 km out. How slot swells work
