Naish Beach

Naish Beach is located on Maui's north shore in a semi-protected bay setting with onshore industrial development immediately adjacent to the beach. The spot faces northeast into the bay, with a sandy beach break backed by dense vegetation and established infrastructure. Water conditions show variable depths with visible reef structures and shallow areas in the turquoise zones. The modest average wave height of 0.65m and low wind reliability of 6.2% indicate this is primarily a calm-water lagoon environment rather than an exposed ocean break. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The spot's proximity to port facilities and commercial activity makes it a secondary choice compared to more exposed beaches. Low wave energy and protected waters make this suitable for beginners and progression, though conditions are often marginal. Kiters should be aware of shallow water zones, reef hazards, and the industrial maritime activity nearby. This location appears better suited for light-wind practice and skill development rather than advanced wave riding.
