    Lahaina Harbor (Breakwall)

    Intermediate

    Lahaina Harbor's Breakwall is a popular surf break in the heart of Lahaina, with an inside section used by surf schools and an outside section that produces steep lefts on a good south swell. The wave breaks beside the harbor's jetty over a shallow reef, so it gets shallow at low tide, but a mid-to-high tide provides fun walls up to head high. Crowds are heavy and the name "Snakewall" reflects the constant jockeying for position.

    Kaanapali Beach

    Intermediate

    A long sandy beach on West Maui’s resort coast, south of Black Rock.

    Pohaku Park (S-Turns)

    Intermediate

    A West Maui surf park with rocky shoreline and a small sandy southern section.

    Napili Bay Beach

    Intermediate

    A sandy crescent along Nāpili Bay on Maui’s northwest coast.
