Kihei is a developed beach break located on the leeward coast of Maui, Hawaii, facing west toward the open Pacific. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by dense residential and commercial development, with clear shallow lagoon areas visible in the imagery. The location experiences consistent trade winds typically from the northeast, making northerly (0°) winds the most reliable for side-shore conditions. However, the extremely low wind reliability (6.6%) means this spot works best during winter swells or seasonal wind shifts. Wave heights are consistently small (0.65m average), making it suitable for beginners and learners. The shallow lagoon waters provide protected conditions but require careful navigation around visible reef structures, particularly in the northern section. Limited undeveloped beach access due to development may constrain launch and landing areas. Water temperature remains warm year-round (25.2°C average). This spot is best suited for beginners seeking calm, protected conditions rather than riders seeking significant wind or wave challenge.
