Sideshore wind, on Northerly trades, sideoff on Easterly trades, side to side on in Kona winds. The Boat House beach sticks out from the shore, almost like a small peninsula. The wind is stronger than strong when happening. Generally wind is side to side off shore, direction is dictated by the location of high pressure north of the islands. The more Northerly the winds on the North sore, the more onshore the wind will be. Situated on one of the windiest bays in the world, this spot can smoke. Northerly trade winds rip between two volcanoes providing smoking sessions, if riders are prepared, if not, may be a brutal session. Super spot in fall, winter and spring.

 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
- None


Kihei winds can be simple and fun, they can also be extremely strong. 16, 19 and 22 meter lines are common here, full length in strong wind can be a nightmare. This beach is peaceful and void of riders. Have fun but don't expect any help from anyone on the beach.

Edit
 Nightlife
The Boat House is in the heart of Kihei, shops, restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
