Maui Surf Forecast
North: Wave heights are expected to be five to six times overhead today around 25 to 35 foot faces or more at the best deep water breaks like Pe’ahi.

Our current north-northwest swell is expected to slowly ease today through Saturday. Lots of variation for this swell since it’s coming from 330°… some spots are expected to reach advisory level depending on how exposed they are.
Thunderstorms are possible as early as Thursday night with the chance for thunderstorms extending through Saturday.
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.
