Maili Point surf guide

Maili Point is a surf spot located on the west coast of Oahu. This spot is best known for its fast, powerful lefts that break over a shallow reef. It works primarily on bigger southwest swells and can be quite challenging, so it's better suited for experienced surfers. The entry and exit can be tricky due to rocks, so be prepared for some careful maneuvering.

The surf at Maili Point thrives on southwest swells but can also handle waves from the south and northwest. Ideal wave sizes are around 4 feet (1.2 meters), and the reef breaks can get pretty intense. While the waves can be really fun, you’ll need to be an expert to tackle the fast-paced conditions. The best wind direction is from the northeast, and the spot works well during low, mid, and high tides. Just keep an eye out for the currents, as they can be strong.

If you’re looking for other options around Maili Point, you’ll find Green Lantern breaking rights on northwest swells nearby. To the north toward Waianae, spots like Sewers offer quicker rights, and the protected fun reforms at Rest Camp in Pokai Bay are a nice alternative. Klausmeyers has some chunky lefts that sit across from the popular rights at Makaha, giving you a variety of waves to choose from in the area.
