About Honolua Bay
Honolua Bay is a narrow bay on the north-west coast of Maui, Hawaii, near Kapalua and the island's north-western tip. The wave wraps around the northern side of the bay and runs to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore, past sections that are commonly called Coconuts, Outside and The Cave, and it is often described as one of the finest waves in Hawaii when a big winter swell arrives. Surfers and spectators generally look down on it from a track along the cliff above. Waves are most likely in the northern winter, typically from around November to March. The bay is a marine life conservation district, and in the calmer months it is better known for snorkelling and for the reef and turtles inside it than for surf.
