Ka'a Point
United States · Hawaï
Ka'a Point, also known as Pro Pool, is an iconic spot located east of Kanaha Beach Park on the north coast of Maui. This sheltered area offers rare flat water on the island, favored by experts for its technical conditions.
The spot is situated in a small sheltered cove with views of the West Maui mountains and the Iao Valley. It is a lively place where pros come to train, in close proximity to the beach for photos.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, with an open but limited space to navigate.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Ka'a Point works well with a NNE wind or more to the north, ideally side-on from the left of the beach. The wind is channeled between Haleakala and the West Maui Mountains, making it consistent and strong, often around 20-30 knots thanks to the dominant ENE trade winds.
The riding area is a protected cove 200 feet wide for tricks, with flat water inside. To the left (port), there are about 200 feet before the rocks or trees; to the right (starboard), natural kickers allow for nice jumps going out.
Launching is easy on the sandy beach, but space is limited and often crowded. Stay in the inner area for the flat; avoid going too far upwind of the orange flag at Kanaha. Tides do not significantly impact the water, but check the wind direction: E or ENE makes the spot unusable as it becomes too side-off.
