Maui Surf Forecast
North: Double overhead to triple overhead surf or more is expected today. Showing strongest for Ho’okipa eastward.
West: Surf is knee/waist high today for most westerly exposures in the morning with waist/chest high surf by the afternoon. Spots exposed to the west-northwest wrap will be bigger.
South: Surf is expected to be ankle/waist high today for southern exposures. Spots catching the wrap may get a bit bigger.
West-northwest swell is building today into Saturday along with a northwest swell peaking Friday evening. West-southwest wind swell will also mix in Friday and Saturday because of the Kona winds so surf may seem a bit jumbled.
A combination of local winds, large surf and higher than normal high tides could translate to overwash onto the typical vulnerable roadways through Saturday morning. The best chance for this will be during high tides.
Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC in the near future.
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.
