 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

This park has a narrow sandy beach.Offshore Puamana is a broad wave protected fringing reef with a gradual seaward slope. This area is not normally impacted by severe storm waves but was decimated in 1992 by anomalous surf generated to the southwest by Hurricane Iniki. Nearly all coral was broken off removed by the event. The substratum was barren after the storm event, but has been gradually increasing again in coral cover. The gently sloping reef zone between 5-20' eventually gives way to a sandy bottom.This reef is protected from North Pacific Swell by the Islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai to the north and west. The island of Kahoolawe partially blocks south swell, but Puamani is vulnerable to waves from the southwest.
