The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on offer for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, the next week or so is a bit of a grind for Waihee (United States). We’ve got consistent swell, but the wind is relentless out of the ENE, keeping things cross-onshore and generally messy – pretty poor surf conditions. The first real glimmer of hope comes mid-week. That big cleanup out of the SW is what we’re all waiting for.
Wednesday, July 29th is the standout. The morning is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the NE pushing in with a northern direction that suits the break beautifully. The wind goes light offshore from the SW, the sea glassing right off. The combined wave energy here is strong (1133). This is prime, excellent surf for experienced surfers looking for some power and shape. The afternoon drops off a bit, with the swell easing to 6ft and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still going to be very good. After that, it’s back into the onshore pattern, with lumpy conditions and building ENE wind through the first week of August.
We do see a tiny, almost glassy opportunity right at the very end on Friday, August 7th, in the morning. It’s only 3ft with very weak energy (175) and you’ll be fighting the early morning clouds, but for a paddle on a tiny board, it might be a laugh. Honestly, that brief moment Wednesday morning is the only one worth circling on the calendar.
The water is sitting at a pretty standard 80°, so nothing unusual for the time of year.
Keep an eye on the sky, but don’t hold your breath until that Wednesday.
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.
