General Information
Level:7-9 Season:June 1 — August 31 -
Spreckelsville is literally the windiest beach in all of the northern shores of Maui. A small residential area at only 1.5 miles long located in between Kahului and Paia, windsurfers treasure this area as it is one of the few places they can easily launch from. In fact, not only does Spreckelsville make for easy takeoff, but it also provides some good challenges for the most advanced enthusiasts.

Beach
-
There are large reefs located on either sides of the beach, and should be avoided by windsurfers. But the great thing about Spreckelsville is its summer (June to August) periods of flat water, that provides for some smooth sailing. Some adventurously start their day at Kanaha beach and can actually sail up to Spreckelsville and spend the rest of the day here. On calmer days, sailors can venture far out into the sea and actually see the turtles that congregate there.
