The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Waiehu beach park (Maui). Look, I’ll be straight with you – this stretch of reef and point is a consistent setup, but the stars are just not aligning for a good paddle out for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at a pleasant 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so don’t worry about a wetsuit.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special here. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to the end of July, the surf gods are basically on holiday. The wind is locked in from the ENE and NE, and it’s cross-on the whole time – that’s the kiss of death for clean waves here. The swell is coming from the NNE and ENE, which is actually the optimum direction for this spot, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly, and chopped up by the breeze. The combined energy is moderate at best, topping out around 357 on the 18th, but with the wind state, it’s just a mess. We’re looking at poor surf conditions every single day. There’s a tiny flicker of hope on the 29th, where the wind drops to a slight air and goes offshore, but the wave comment only gives it a “marginal” nod. The swell is 4ft from the ENE with a 12-second period, which is a bit better quality, but it’s still cross-on and the combined energy is moderate (425). Honestly, it’s not worth getting excited about. For beginners, the swell stays under 5ft, so it’s not too big, but the chop and onshore wind would make it a frustrating session.
The whole run is a bust. If you’re itching for something, maybe the 29th morning is your best bet for a few grovelly ones, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Waiehu beach park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waiehu beach park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waiehu beach park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waiehu beach park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Waiehu beach park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Waiehu beach park may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Waiehu beach park is 5 km (3 miles) from Wailuku. If you plan a vacation in Maui, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wailuku. Wailuku has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
