Things to know

  • For intermediate and advanced surfers, Maui’s North Shore delivers big waves from mid-November until early February. Beginners will want to head to beaches on the south part of the island or consult a guide on the best location for learning.

  • Surf lessons are recommended for anyone starting out as a beginner. Waves are known for being powerful here in Maui, depending on the time of year. A guide will be able to take you to an appropriate beach to show you how to be safe, have fun and work toward standing up on your board.
