Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waihee over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you, this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Waihee, a reef and point setup that’s fairly consistent, the truth is there’s nothing good on offer. The whole run is a blank. From Sunday the 12th all the way through Sunday the 26th, every single session is plagued by cross-onshore winds. The swell is coming from the wrong direction – the spot wants swell from the NNE, and we’re stuck with ENE and E swells the whole time. The wave heights bounce around between 2ft and 6ft, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, choppy, and messy. The combined energy is moderate, reading between 120 and 432, but it’s all junk. The water temp is 79° with a tiny anomaly of 0.4°, so that’s about normal for the time of year. Honestly, there is no standout, no day to recommend. The only flicker of change comes on Monday the 27th (over a week away) when the wind finally swings light and variable, but the surf is still marginal and small – 3ft to 3ft, with a long period of 14 to 15 seconds. That long period could make for some cleaner lines at a point break like Waihee, but the energy is weak and the conditions are only rated as “marginal.” Expect crowds here sometimes, but with nothing on offer, it won’t be an issue. Waihee is a good break, but it simply doesn’t stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. For now, leave the boards at home.

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.
