Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waihee over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this one’s a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at Waihee, a reef and point set-up that usually has its moments, but over this whole 16-day stretch, it’s just not happening. There is no good surf on offer right now, and the outlook stays grim all the way through to Wednesday, July 22.
The problem is a relentless ENE wind blowing cross-on, 12 to 19 mph, day after day. That’s trashing the surface. We’ve got swell hanging around 4 to 7 ft, mostly from the ENE with a short, gutless period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting between 263 and 514, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is just chewing it all up. The wave comment across every single session says “poor surf conditions,” and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it is.
There’s no standout period. No window of clean conditions. No break in the pattern. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough run. The whole 16 days is a gap with no recommendations. For a reef and point, a long-period groundswell from the NNE would be ideal, but we’re stuck with this short-period ENE slop. If you’re desperate, the last couple of days – around Tuesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 22 – the swell drops a little to about 4 ft, and the wind eases to 9 mph on the Wednesday afternoon, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’ve got the gear. But for a surf? Save your energy. Forecasts can change, but until that wind swings offshore, Waihee is a write-off.
Rusty.

Information about the Waihee Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waihee provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waihee can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waihee 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 (Waihee) 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 Waihee 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.
Waihee is 6 km (4 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.
