Surf Windmills

Windmills - Maui Windmills features powerful, hollow left-hand reef breaks over a rocky bottom, ideal for advanced surfers. The spot works best at mid tide with swells from the north, northwest, west, and northeast, and requires calm winds from the south or southeast for optimal conditions. Expect a short walk (5-15 minutes) from parking, but be cautious of theft in the area. Located on the northern coast of Maui, Windmills is known for its exposed nature, attracting various swells. Surfers flock here for the lefts, with rights available when conditions permit. The waves can become challenging, especially as size increases, making it unsuitable for beginners. While crowds can be significant, particularly on weekends, timing your visit can help avoid the busiest times. Be prepared for localism and potential hazards like sharp rocks and sharks, ensuring a safe and thrilling surfing experience.
