The break.
Right pointIntermediateMixed
The reserve, the west point
A right that wraps the west point of a marine reserve on Maui. Honolua is long walls when the north swell is on, and a quiet bay when it is not. The cliff is the cheap seat. The reserve is why the water looks like that.
When.
November to March
North swell in winter. A clean morning before the wind is the classic.

Worth knowing.
- 1. The lookout on the cliff is the first stop. You will know the size before you walk down.
- 2. Coconuts is further inside. The Point is the one that runs.
- 3. This is a reserve. No taking, no trash. The bay is the reason the wave is still the wave.
- 4. Winter is the window. Summer here is a different island.
Go.
