Occasional west and Kona winds (south/south east) November to April. Winter has better waves but can be wetter and least reliable winds. Summertime: stronger winds (sometimes over 30 knots) with small to no surf (June to August). Warm weather, water and year-long side to side-onshore trade winds blow from the northeast.

Riding on the west side of the island is limited, so speak to a local rider before trying to ride there. In the right winds Kihei on the south side can be good for intermediates and above. Launch and land by crossing a very tricky reef - it’s serious. No kitesurfing at Ho’okipa, but advanced riders looking for a challenge with up-to-date insurance may want to check out Lanes. Thirty minutes away are Ho’okipa and Lanes. Closer to shore they re-form and set up a fun zone to ride waves or pop off the ramps. Further offshore large north and west swells pound the reef September to May (winter) from Pier One to the west, the ‘Boneyard’ in the middle and ‘Lowers’ to the east. Aqua Sports Maui meet their students at the upper part of this beach where there’s a wide, sandy launch. Over a small bridge to the next parking lot is the excellent beginner/ intermediate area of Kite Beach called Kanaha with a small camping area, showers and restrooms. Sheltered with butter flat waters it’s only for advanced riders as the launch area is tiny and in a wind shadow. Between Teach Beach and The Keyhole (lower end of Old Man’s) is the world-famous ‘Pro Beach’, marked as Ka’a Point on the map. The launch can be a bit tricky, so observe other kiters and familiarise yourself with the area. The first parking lot is Teach Beach (AKA: Kimo’s) with an uninterrupted area downwind past the industrial buildings. The main kite beaches are in an industrial section of Kahului on Amala Place.

Although there's Hawaii-size surf, Maui actually offers lots of riding opportunities for kiters, beginners through advanced. Riders flock to Maui for its warm waters and super consistent conditions with more kiteable days per year than almost anywhere on earth.
