Maui Surf Forecast

North: Wave heights are expected to be head high today with the best breaks pulling in waves up to overhead or even double overhead on the sets by sunset.

West: Wave heights under waist high today. Spots not catching the swell are much smaller or flat.

South: Wave heights under waist high today but building as the day goes on. Spots shadowed by other islands will be flat.

A northwest swell is expected to continue filling in through the day Tuesday peaking late Tuesday into early Wednesday. This swell should bring surf near advisory levels along north and west facing shores at its peak. The swell is forecast to diminish Wednesday night and Thursday. The low generating this swell will be quite deep, but the largest swells will pass north of Hawaii.

A big surge in easterly winds is expected to bring advisory conditions over most coastal waters by the middle of the week. Strong trades are expected for the second half of the week and gale warnings may be necessary for the Alenuihaha channel as the strong trades accelerate through the channel.

Small bump expected to build Tuesday out of the south-southwest and peak Wednesday around waist high.

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.
