Maui Surf Forecast
North: Wave heights are expected to be head high to overhead or more. The best breaks could get up to double overhead on the sets. Trade swell continues for Hana area up to overhead to a few feet overhead.
West: Wave heights waist/head high are expected today out of the south-southwest. Some wrap from the north-northwest may occur as well. Spots shadowed by other islands will be pretty flat.
South: The south-southwest is expected to bring chest/shoudler/head high waves today. The best breaks could get up to a bit overhead.
A east-northeast trade swell is showing for windward coasts through the weekend and likely well into next week.
Our current south-southwest trends down as a slightly bigger swell builds through the day Saturday and will show for the weekend with a reinforcement on tap late in the weekend into early next week.
A short-lived northwest swell is for the weekend, building Saturday evening and holding through Sunday morning before beginning to fade.
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.
