Maui Surf

Huge swell is on the way for Friday (4/4). This will most likely be the last huge swell of the season and it looks like it will end in some fireworks.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a high surf advisory for north and west facing shores of Molokai and north facing shores of Maui, in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday.

Forecasters from the National Weather Service say a large north swell, combined with locally generated wind waves, will continue to produce rough surf throughout the day.

Surf will remain elevated along the north facing shores of Maui and Molokai today, resulting in a continued High Surf Advisory until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, April 2, 2013.

High surf advisories issued for Saturday with two 8-12 ft+ swells coming in for the weekend crowd. It also looks like Saturday and Sunday will have light winds as well, which will undoubtedly translate to more great surf sessions.

Surfing during a rising swell is the most dangerous time to be out in the water because you never really know how big it’s going to get until it is sometimes too late.

Forecasters from the NWS expect surf to build to 20-25 foot range along the north facing shores this afternoon and tonight. Surf along the west facing shores is projected to be in the 15-20 foot range.

The light winds have been hanging around for a while, making exceptional surf sessions with the glassy conditions. There is one downside though, the water has been COLD.

A great swell for the weekend and light winds will keep surfers happy until they have to go back to work on Monday.

More great swells on the way for the north shores of Hawaii. Meanwhile, for the price of a short flight, Mauians can find themselves on Oahu’s north shore, the holy grail of surfing.

A northwest swell will keep surf heights near advisory levels along the north and west facing shores of much of the state today.

A high surf advisory has been extended to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Surf along the affected north shores will be 14 to 18 feet; and 8 to 12 feet along the affected west shores.

Surfers are in for another week of solid swells as the North Pacific keeps pumping them out. Meanwhile, Portuguese man-o-wars are the latest unwelcome guests to Maui shores – so watch out.

Surf is expected to build to 12 to 18 feet along the north facing shores, and 8 to 12 feet along the affected west facing shorelines.

Windy conditions prevail as the brown waters are slowly returning back to normal for the north shore of Maui. There is plenty of swell available also for the north facing shores if you don’t mind the 15-25mph+ winds tearing through the lineups.

Surf along the north facing shores will be in the 15 to 20 foot range, and surf along the west facing shores will be 10 to 15 feet.

The recent heavy rainfall resulted in brown waters along the north shore, making surfers think twice about jumping in for a surf.

Strong trade winds will keep surf rough and elevated along the east shores through Tuesday night.

The dominant east swell is still holding in the the 5-9 foot range and it looks like it is going to hold that size for the rest of the week before another northwest swell arrives Monday.

Strong trade winds will bring rough and elevated surf to the east facing shores of Maui and Molokai through 6 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 22, 2013.
