I’ve been visiting Maui for over two decades chasing down the best conditions and whenever I see a forecast showing a prolonged spell of north winds I know the only real option is to start exploring. The beauty of Maui is that its two mountain ranges, Haleakala and The West Maui’s have a huge influence on shifts in the wind and when it turns to the north there can be a huge acceleration effect in Kihei and spots further round the west coast. Throw in a pumping swell and there are several secret spots that can light up although with restricted parking, razor sharp reefs shallow enough to rip your fins out and a nasty reputation for shark attacks; they are certainly not places for the faint of heart.
