G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – this outlook for Waihee is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but right from the start there’s no surf worth paddling out for, and that run of bad news stretches all the way to the end of the forecast. The whole period is a write-off for a decent wave.
Waihee is a reef and point break that usually handles a fair bit of swell, but the issue here isn’t the size. We’re seeing waves mostly between 4 ft and 6 ft through the whole stretch – that’s not the problem. The problem is the wind. From Saturday morning the 4th of July right through to Sunday the 19th of July, every single session has a cross-onshore breeze blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s persistent, and it’s churning up the surface into a choppy, lumpy mess. There’s no let-up – no glassy morning, no offshore window to grab. The combined swell energy sits between 226 and 468 (moderate energy), but with that wind direction and speed, the quality is shot. The swell period is short too, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-driven junk.
The water temp is around 79°F, which is about average for this time of year – no surprises there.
There’s no standout session in this whole 16-day run. Every single time slot is rated as poor surf conditions, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. For a spot like Waihee that can be fairly consistent, this is a bleak stretch. The forecast might change, but as it stands, don’t bother waxing up. If you’ve got a kite, this setup looks more interesting for that than paddle surfing – the onshore wind is reliable, but for a surfer, it’s a hard pass.
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.
