Maui Surf Forecast
North: Overhead to double overhead surf is expected today at the best surf breaks. Ho’okipa eastward will see the biggest waves.
West: Surf is under waist high today for most westerly exposures with slightly bigger waves at the best exposures catching the northwest wrap.
South: Surf is expected to be pretty flat today for southern exposures.
Our current NNW swell is still showing today. This swell should ease through next weekend. A new northwest swell could arrive in time for Christmas if the model projections are correct.
A trade wind swell will also show today. Surf, however, is expected to stay below advisory level until maybe late in the upcoming weekend.
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.
