Kahului Harbor
Edit SpotAbout
I lived in Waiehu my whole life and thats like my favorite spot in the area!
Atmosphere:
The crowd is usually mellow and peoples are just having fun. Alot of bodyboarders too so kinda gotta watch out. Sometimes it's so steep and heavy nobody surfs just bodyboarders.
Additional Info:
Just watch out when the set comes in cause it comes in huge that doubles-up, triples-up, and sometimes triples-up!! VERY THICK WAVE!
Location
Loading...Access
Just keep on going down Lower Main Street and you'll see a huge dirt area with choke dirt bikers. The harbor is right there and the spot is right off the rocks. Can't miss it. Plus get "Middles" right in the middle of the harbor. Holds up really good when it's huge!
