Gypsy Spot sits on Maui's north coast in the transition zone between Kahului and the north shore, slightly west of Spreckelsville. This spot benefits from direct exposure to northeast trade winds that blow consistently on this windward coast. The spot is popular with local riders seeking an alternative to the more crowded north shore spots. Conditions are good for intermediate riders with varied water between reef-sheltered areas and open ocean.
Warm water year-round (23-27°C/73-80°F), no wetsuit needed — a lycra is sufficient. The bottom is a mix of sand and coral reef. The reef provides some protection, creating calmer water zones. Moderate currents in reef channels. North swell possible in winter. Conditions similar to Spreckelsville.
Intermediate

Sharks (tiger sharks) present on Maui's north shore. Humpback whales from December to April — federal law requires 100 yards distance.
