Maui Surf Forecast
North: Most spots are completely washed out today. Deep water breaks will get upwards of 20 foot faces in the middle of the day and into the afternoon. Pe’ahi could be even bigger than that. Blustery conditions are forecast with very strong north to northeast winds expected.
West: Surf is ankle/knee high today. Spots catching some of the west-northwest wrap will be bigger.
South: Surf is ankle/knee high today. The best spots catching the wrap could get bigger.
Our current swell is slowly easing but still keeping wave heights elevated. A new northwest pulse is expected to peak on Monday and ease Tuesday through the second half of the work week.
The North Pacific is looking to remain quite active further out with another swell forecast for the 2nd and more pulses right on the heels of that.
Nothing significant expected out of the South Pacific any time soon.
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.
