Ka’anapali Point

Ka’anapali Point is a point break in Kaanapali, HI, covered by a free live cam from Maui Kai.

About the Break

Ka’anapali Point sits at the north end of Ka’anapali Beach on Maui’s west shore, near Black Rock, exposed to north and west swell. It’s a resort-strip break, generally more consistent than dramatic, with the reef and rock structure around Black Rock adding some shape. As a point break, it favors surfers who can read a longer, more organized wave and are comfortable sharing a rotation with the rest of the lineup.

Surf Etiquette at Point Breaks

Point breaks are built around long, organized rides peeling down a single line, which means the lineup usually works in a rotation — one surfer takes the wave from the top, and everyone else waits their turn rather than scrambling for every set. “Snaking” (paddling around someone to jump the rotation) is one of the fastest ways to draw real friction in a point break lineup. Watch how the rotation is working before paddling out, and expect a wave a good point break shares to be earned by patience, not positioning.
