Spot guide

Maalaea Beach is an SSW-facing reef break in Maʻalaea, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 73% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
