Kuahua

Kuahua is an NNE-facing beach break in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from NE to ENE and W to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 86% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSW: light winds or SSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNE onshores chop it up.
