About This Spot

Honolua Bay on West Maui is regarded as one of the best right-hand point breaks on Earth. The wave peels along a rocky headland in several sections, offering long barreling walls when north or northwest swells wrap into the bay. Crowds of experts flock here during the winter season, and the coral reef demands precision and respect.

Local Etiquette

Do not attempt if you aren't comfortable in barrels; respect the environment and remain quiet to preserve the bay's serene atmosphere.
