Hana should have some rippable surf coming in from the N or NW areas at the end of this month. Ask once you pull in about where to surf - there's some really good breaks there. Sharks are there too, but the risk isn't any higher than what you'll find near Hilo or anywhere around Kauai (kind of a bad time to bring that up, I know...). Puamana will be flat. It's a S-only break, as are all breaks until you move up out of the Blackrock/Kaanapali shadow (unless it'a huge N swell, then Kaanapali Point might be good). There's a small handful of breaks up the westside between Kaanapali and Honolua but if your wife will be along for the ride I'd suggest DT FLeming beach, which has a great view of H-Bay, is right dopwn in front of the Ritz Carlton and has both sand-bottom lefts and over to the right a dead coral reef that can make for really fun, if short, rights. Plus, you've got Maui County lifeguards (think big-dog) sunup to sundown and a nice beach with bathrooms, shower, picnic area, BBQ and shade. North Shore you've got lots to choose from but with a family I'd head to Baldwin or Hookiopa - lots of people in the water, lifeguards, facilities and an overall groovy scene. Have a great trip.
