Ok, so the surf is huge in winter on the north shore due to large storms south of Alaska. So what about the summer? Summer, on the other hand, is when the breaks on the north shore go dormant and flat.
Instead of storms churning south of Alaska, winter takes over in the Southern Hemisphere and storms rage south of New Zealand. I was there on Big Wednesday too. We had only been living on Maui for a month. Today, November 11, is the 13th anniversary of our move here. I had the same experience as you did watching the bad behavior of those 4wd trucks that destroyed the pineapple fields driving over them. We sat in that traffic on that single lane road for quite some time.
It was still a bit of a walk from where we parked but the experience of what we saw there surfing is etched in my mind forever. There were massive deep holes we would never had been able to drive over if we were in a car. A few years ago I visited a website that showed the plans to build those custom homes you spoke of. Maui is a very spiritual, magical, and majestic place. Should you get stuck, no one is coming for you tow truck.
You, friend, are most beautifully well spoken. Thank you so much for your words. It was an amazing trip and this land deserves to be protected. I was here on Big Wednesday Dec. People acted terribly. Perhaps tomorrow if we get up and go rent a Jeep. Just left jaws around 4pm local time. Was close to 15ft. But most sets were Your email address will not be published.

Kimo says: October 18, Lynn says: October 7, SoCal dude says: October 18, While the dirt road to the viewpoint requires 4WD, a strategic offer of a cold 6-pack can get you a lift to the bottom. Waves can close out and be unrideable when larger than 20 feet, although neon sailed windsurfers still tackle the monsters once regular surfers have gone in.
This world-class wave is legendary among surfers—and consequently can be packed—so to get the best viewpoint of the barreling action, park on the dirt road leading down Lipoa Point when a winter swell rolls through town. The best viewpoint is from atop the cliff before the road to Punalau beach, and with a pair of binoculars or a telephoto lens, you might see Clay Marzo and his acrobatic cutbacks dissecting the foot surf.
This surf spot can get pretty hollow and fast, and holds in pretty big surf. Powerful rights and lefts that get totally epic.
With the right swell you can get really long rides. Powerful and fun right and left reef break, lots of people out surfing, and lots of waves to surf. Decent beginner surf spot. One of the world's fastest rights, breaks off of a jetty and over a shallow reef, only during large southern swells. A short, left reef break. This spot gets pretty heavy with a solid south swell, and can hold up to 16 feet. If you've come to Maui to get away from crowds, think again.
Almost all Maui residents surf in some shape or form. Some only go out once a year, others are out 3 times a day.
