Lahaina Harbor (Breakwall)
jetty
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.
Early access
Walk down to the harbor wall and paddle out beside the breakwall; beware of the rocks and barnacles on the jetty.
Parking
Park in the Lahaina Harbor public lot or at the adjacent 505 Front Street shopping center (paid); avoid parking in private stalls.
