Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Kite beach Maui

Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 26°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 24°C in March, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at beginner level the best months are usually June and July, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kahului. Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
