The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’re looking at a pretty bleak run for a while. The surf is going to be messy and mostly not worth paddling out for. The water temperature at Waiehu beach park is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The one real standout in this whole 16-day window is Tuesday, the 8th of September. We’ve got a window of clean, fun waves. The morning starts with a solid 6ft swell from the ENE with an 11-second period, and the wind is going offshore from the south – that’s a big deal. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (883). This is a reef and point setup, so that longer period will wrap in nicely. It’s a consistent break, so you can expect some decent sets. But heads up, crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.
Then Tuesday afternoon gets even better. The wind goes glassy – completely flat – and the swell drops a touch to 5ft from the east with a 10-second period. The wave energy is still moderate (658). This is your best bet for the whole period. Clean, smooth, and some fun little waves for the beginner-friendly crowd.
Everything else is a write-off. From now until Tuesday morning, it’s cross-on winds and choppy, poor conditions. After Tuesday, from Wednesday the 9th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 21st of September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, the swell is small, short-period, and the energy is weak. The breaks are going to be bumpy and messy. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’ve got that one Tuesday window, and that’s your only shot.
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.
