Maui Surf Forecast

North: Wave heights are expected to be well overhead to double overhead for spots catching the fading northwest swell. The best breaks could get up to triple overhead. Swell is fading through the day.

West: Wave heights waist/chest high today. Spots farther to the south are much smaller.

South: Wave heights under waist high today. Spots shadowed by other islands will be even smaller.

Our current northwest swell is expected to continue fading today. A new storm is brewing in the northwest Pacific and is forecast to bring another large swell building Tuesday, peaking in the evening into early Wednesday morning.

Our current south-southwest is mainly leftovers 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.
