Maui Surf Forecast
North: Wave heights of about knee/waist high are expected today. Easterly breaks could be bigger on the sets.
West: Wave heights waist/chest high are expected in the morning with a slow easing trend through the day. The best breaks exposed to the south could be shoulder/head high early in the day on the sets. Many spots will be blocked by other islands.
South: Wave heights waist/shoulder high are expected in the morning with a slow easing trend through the day.
Our current south-southwest swell is expected to continue to slowly fade through the week, dropping out around Thursday. Small rideable pulses out of the south are expected but nothing super notable. August 3-5th we expect a new knee/thigh high swell with a better angled swell expected the 6-8th with waves possibly up to waist high or more.
Small trade swell will push into northeasterly exposures. Otherwise, the north Pacific is looking very quiet.
Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
