During the summer season surf at Maui's west and south beaches. The waves are originating from the tropics south of Hawaii and are generally moderate waves that are more appropriate for beginner or intermediate surfers. The Maui winter surfing season lasts from October to March. During the winter season surf at Maui's west and north beaches. The waves are originating from storms in the north part of the Pacific ocean. These provide opportunties for Maui big wave surfing.
