Maui Surf Breaks
Maui is home to some fierce breaks including the famous Jaws. Hawaii's second largest island holds many beautiful beaches and surroundings. It also has some of the best surf this world has to offer. Winter is the best time to surf although it's less of a big deal here as summer swells form the S and winter swells from there N still hammer the coast most of the year round. Maui is an island where a good knowledge of wind and swell patterns will pay off. Mainly reef breaks throughout the island.
