The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Waiehu beach park (Maui) has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's a bit of a tough stretch, but there are a couple of windows worth keeping an eye on.
Right from the jump, we're not looking at anything special. The surf is there, but it's constantly getting chopped up by a cross-onshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first week is a write-off for clean waves, with the wind just ruining any chance of a decent face.
We roll into the first weekend, and it's the same story. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have some chest to head-high swell coming from the ENE, but that cross-onshore wind is going to keep it bumpy and messy. By Sunday, the swell period jumps to 15 seconds, which is a nice long period groundswell, but the wind is still on it, so it's a frustrating one. The wave energy is ramping up into the 700s and 900s (moderate), but it's all for nothing with that wind.
Now, here's the one that might get your attention. Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning looks promising. We've got a solid 6ft of swell from the east, with a 13-second period – that's a proper groundswell. The energy is strong, clocking in at 1241. But the real story is the wind. It's coming from the NNE, which is a direct offshore wind for this spot. Offshore winds at Waiehu will make it absolutely glassy and clean. The wave comment is a "marginal" call, probably due to a tide issue, but if you can time the tide right, this is your one standout session in the whole outlook. This is a beginner-friendly break, but with 6ft on offer, it's getting a bit punchy for the total novices. The direction is east, and the guide says this spot likes waves from the NNE, so it's not the absolute best direction, but the offshore wind is a massive equaliser.
The following Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th show a bit of relief, with the wind dropping to a light breeze, but the swell is still coming from the ENE and the wave quality is still only marginal. It's worth a paddle if you're desperate, but the Tuesday morning is the clear winner.
Then we hit another dry spell. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to the end of the outlook on the 6th of August, it's a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is back on it, and the surf is just messy. The last few days of the run show the swell dropping right back to 3ft, so it's a proper flat spell to finish.
So, the call is simple. The entire 16-day forecast is a bit of a battle, with only one true standout. If you can get out at Waiehu beach park on Tuesday morning the 28th of July, you'll be rewarded with clean, offshore lines. Every other day, you're fighting the wind. For the rest of it, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
