Maui Surf Forecast
North: Surf is shoulder/head high today with the best breaks getting a few feet overhead on the sets.
West: Surf is pretty flat today for most westerly exposures with bigger waves at the best exposures catching the northwest wrap.
South: Surf is expected to be pretty flat today for southern exposures.
Small south-southwest fills in Tuesday and Wednesday. Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC in the near future although a small south swell is forecast for the 31st and 1st with another little bump on the horizon for the 4th.
Our next northwest swell is forecast to build Tuesday and peak late in the day. Wednesday the swell will begin to fade. This swell is not expected to be quite as big as our Christmas swell.
A trade wind swell will also continue showing today.
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.
