The spot offers favorable winds throughout much of the year with clean trade winds coming from an ENE direction, wide sandy beaches, and emergency landing points farther downwind in the event anything goes wrong. The winds are strong at this point as the incoming trade winds funnel between Haleakala and the West Maui Mountains. Utilize the Kahului Airport and Kahului Harbor wind sensors to see what the winds are doing. Best wind directions are NE and ENE. E winds can be good, especially for wave riding, if you are comfortable riding 1-2 miles offshore. Big Air and Wave styles dominate at the main launches although the Pro Pool is great for wakestyle if the wind direction has a lot of N in it.
