Honolua Bay

📍 Local Knowledge

Honolua Bay in Maui is a quite exposed reef and point break with very reliable surf. Winter is the favored time of year for surfing here. When it's breaking, conditions are best when a north-northwest swell pairs with offshore winds from the southeast, producing clean waves that work best around mid tide. Despite its consistency, the spot can get crowded when it's working. Hazards include urchins and rips, making caution essential. While it's a dependable location, the month of January tends to offer the best chance for consistent, clean waves.
