H-Reef

📍 Local Knowledge

H-Reef in Maui is an exposed reef break with quite consistent surf. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. When it's working, conditions are best when a north-northeast swell pairs with offshore winds from the south, producing clean left and right-hand reef breaks. This spot is surfable at all stages of the tide and is sometimes crowded when the surf is good. Hazards include urchins, rips, rocks, locals, and sharks, making caution essential. While it's a dependable location, the month of December tends to offer the best chance for consistent, clean waves.
