Waiehu beach park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
