SurfSpotGuide lists 20 surf shops in Lahaina. Lahaina is on Maui's west shore. Shop staff can tell you what the ocean is doing today, but a rental board isn't a lesson: if you're new to surfing, book a school rather than paddling out alone.
Hawaii Ocean Safety expects extremely high surf at many west-shore beaches in winter (November to April), and notes that swells from the north can wrap around to create high surf on west shores in summer too. Conditions change day to day. Check the National Weather Service Honolulu surf forecast (weather.gov/hfo), and ask the lifeguard on duty or your school before going in.
What each shop rents or sells varies, so check the listings above or call ahead. If you're renting, ask the shop where it's safe to surf that day for your ability, and what's on the bottom there.

It's safer not to. Hawaii Ocean Safety advises swimming near a lifeguard, checking with them about conditions before going in, and watching for sharp rocks and coral on the ocean floor. If you're new, take a lesson: the instructor picks a spot that suits the day and your ability.
The National Weather Service Honolulu office (weather.gov/hfo) publishes the surf forecast and high-surf warnings for every island, and Hawaii Ocean Safety keeps the official list of lifeguarded beaches. For the beach in front of you, ask the lifeguard on duty.
