Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the next 16 days… it’s a tough one. There’s a big gap of nothing good to start, and even when we get some push, the conditions are fighting us every step of the way.
For the first 12 days, from Monday the 13th of July right through to Friday the 24th of July, it’s a write-off. The winds are locked in from the ENE and NE, blowing cross-on shore at Waiehu beach park (Maui). That’s creating constant chop, making the waves ugly and messy. The swell is a jumbled mix of short-period windswell, mostly between 6 and 8 seconds, with no real power behind it. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 300 in the early part. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
Now, things get a little more interesting towards the end of the run. The real standout, the only thing worth getting remotely excited about, is the afternoon of Saturday the 25th of July. We’ve got a clean 6ft NE swell rolling in, with a period building to 8 seconds. The combined energy finally jumps up to moderate at 548, so there’s some actual push in the water. The wind is a light breeze from the NE, which is offshore for this spot, so the surface will be much cleaner than anything we’ve seen. This is a beginner-friendly wave at a consistent reef and point, but because it’s consistently good, the crowds are often.
After that, the swell drops off quick but the period gets interesting. On Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th, we see a long-period groundswell from the east, with periods hitting 14 to 15 seconds. That’s a very long period, which means heaps of energy and nice, lined-up waves. The combined energy is strong, hitting 745. However, the wind is back up, moderate and cross-on, so the surface will be choppy. This type of swell is perfect for a point break like Waiehu, but it won’t be clean. It’s a tease.
So, the only window for a decent surf is that Saturday afternoon. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
