Naha

Naha is an SE-facing beach break in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 60% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the Alenuihaha Channel lets in swell from 116.2° (ESE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 122 km out. How slot swells work
