Maui Surf Forecast
North: Surf heights are head high to overhead today in the morning and fading from our old swell. The new swell brings head high to well overhead waves in the morning and builds to double to triple overhead by the afternoon. The best breaks could be even bigger than that by sunset.
West: Surf is ankle/knee high today. Spots catching the northwest will be bigger.
South: Surf is ankle/knee high today.
West-northwest swell is fading today. A reinforcing XL shot of northwest swell is expected to build rapidly on Wednesday afternoon. Peaking Thursday morning with 18 to 25 foot faces expected for the deep water breaks. This swell will start easing Thursday and through the weekend.
A small south-southwest is showing through Friday with a slightly bigger swell right on its heels for the weekend.
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.
