Maui Surf Forecast
North: Wave heights are expected to be shoulder high to overhead today on the sets. The best exposures could still get up to a couple feet overhead.
West: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today. Spots catching the northwest wrap will be much much bigger.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today.
Surf is forecast to fade out on Friday.
Another, larger, northwest swell forecast for the weekend. North and west shores could get up to advisory levels starting late Saturday through Sunday. The swell is forecast to peak Saturday night and begin fading on Sunday.
Looking at the longer range, another large northwest swell is forecast to fill in late Tuesday or Wednesday bringing elevated surf to north and west shores which could possibly climb up to warning levels. Will also keep an eye on this developing situation.
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.
