Maui Surf Forecast
North: Surf is chest/head high at the best breaks some reefs could get up to slightly overhead. Showing best for Ho’okipa eastward.
West: Surf is pretty flat today for most westerly exposures with sets up to waist high from time to time at the best spots. Exposures with west-northwest wrap (and not blocked by our outer islands) will be bigger.
South: Surf is pretty flat today for most westerly exposures with sets up to waist high from time to time at the best spots.
Our current moderate west-northwest swell continues through Wednesday.
Elevated west-northwest swell is slated to arrive Tuesday night through Wednesday. On Thursday, the swell starts easing. Warning level surf is expected with the WNW swell for most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands starting as early as Tuesday night. The swell is forecast to peak late Wednesday and drop a bit by Thursday night.
Saturday and Saturday night a High Surf Advisory is forecast for east facing shores.
A small southwest swell is forecast for the 22nd through the 24th.
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.
