Olowalu

Surf Guide

About six miles south of Lahaina Harbor you'll find the jetty spit at Olowalu, where a left peels off in the summer months, when south swells sneak between Lana'i and Kaho'olawe. Elsewhere nearby there are right and left peaks to choose from, all in the small-to-medium sized range. Olowalu is a small, rural town, so the narrow beaches are quiet and idyllic. As a visitor, be mindful of the local atmosphere.
