About This Spot
Camp One is a sheltered beach break located on Maui's leeward coast, featuring a protected lagoon area backed by a sandy beach and residential development. The spot faces northwest into relatively calm waters, with a defined coastal point that creates a natural funnel for wind and swell. The shallow lagoon provides protected conditions suitable for beginners, though water depth varies significantly. The average wind speed of 7.3 knots is modest, suggesting this is primarily a light-wind spot with low overall reliability (8.6%). Best conditions occur with northeast or east winds that blow side-shore across the beach. The spot's proximity to airport infrastructure and residential areas limits development and maintains a quieter environment. Kiters should be aware of shallow zones, rocky areas along the western headland, and potential current flows through lagoon channels. This location suits beginner to early-intermediate riders seeking protected, manageable conditions rather than high-performance sessions.
Hazards & Safety

Residential infrastructure and buildings adjacent to beach
