The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Waihee for the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be honest – it’s a tough read. This 16-day window starts off rough, and the trades just don’t want to let up.

The one session that has my attention, and the only real standout, is Wednesday, July 29th, in the morning. The wind finally cooperates, swinging light and offshore from the southeast. That’ll clean up the lineup proper. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the northeast, period around 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 766, meaning there’s enough push for some fun ones on the reef and point. The report says "expect very good surf conditions," and with that glassy feel, this is your moment. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but it can get a crowd sometimes.

The rest of the run? It’s a struggle. Starting Saturday the 25th through Tuesday the 29th (before that good morning), it’s all cross-onshore winds and short-period, bumpy junk. On Tuesday the 28th, the combined energy spikes to 2519 with an 8ft E swell and a 13-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, but with onshore winds, the report says “poor surf conditions.” That kind of power with messy wind might be more fun for kite surfers than us paddle surfers.

After that Wednesday high point, the trades crash back. From Thursday the 30th right through to August 9th, it’s a solid two-week stretch of ENE winds at 12 to 19 mph, blowing cross-on. The swell runs 3ft to 8ft, mostly short period, and combined energy stays in the weak to moderate range (144 to 1048). Everything is marked "poor surf conditions." It’s a long, quiet spell.

Waihee’s a reef and point break that works best on an NNE swell. Most of this is ENE or E, which is off-angle, and the wind is just ruining it.

Sometimes the forecast just goes quiet like this. It’s a normal blank run for the area. I’d set my sights on that Wednesday morning session, and hope things change. Forecasts can shift.

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.
