Spreckelsville

Spreckelsville is a sheltered bay located on Maui's north shore, characterized by a north-facing coastline with light swell conditions and consistent offshore winds. The spot features a sandy beach backed by residential development and agricultural land, with visible reef structures in the bay's shallow waters. The protected bay configuration creates lighter wind conditions (averaging 7.3 knots) and small wave heights (0.65m average), making this a beginner-friendly location. Best conditions occur with east or northeast winds that blow parallel to the shore, providing safe side-shore approaches. The shallow bay waters and reef hazards require local knowledge and careful navigation. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking mild conditions and small waves. The proximity to infrastructure and shallow bay waters mean limited space and potential obstacles. Wind reliability is relatively low at 8.6%, suggesting consistency issues despite Hawaiian trade wind patterns. Water temperatures around 24.5°C are warm and suitable year-round. Local knowledge of reef positions and tidal variations is essential before attempting this spot.
