Alright folks, Rusty here.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for our area is a tough one. There’s surf on the charts, sure, but the conditions are just not playing ball. We’re looking at a solid run of onshore wind and messy, choppy lineups. It’s one of those forecasts where you’re better off saving the wax for another week.
We start off on Sunday the 5th of July with a clean sky overhead, but that’s where the good news ends. The wind is pumping from the ENE at 15 mph, right on the cross, turning a 5ft swell into a lumpy mess. The combined swell energy is a weak 325, and with a short period of 8 seconds, there’s just no power or shape to work with. No score from me, and honestly, that’s the story for the next two weeks.
Day after day, it’s the same script. Monday the 6th picks up a little more size at 6ft, but the wind kicks up to 19 mph, and the wave energy jumps to 397—still moderate, but totally ruined by the onshore breeze. By Tuesday the 7th we hit 6ft and energy touches 405, but again, that dirty cross-on wind ruins any chance of a clean face.
The pattern doesn’t let up. We go through Thursday, Friday, right into the second week. The wind lightens a touch to 12 mph around Sunday the 12th, but it stays cross-on, and the swell drops back to 5ft with weak energy in the 300s. Even the best-looking numbers, like an 18th of July swell at 6ft and energy climbing to 480, still come with a 15 mph cross-on wind. It’s gutting—there’s size, there’s energy, but it’s all chopped to bits.
This is a blank run. Nothing in this 16-day window is worth paddling out for. Waihee is a reef and point break that would love a nice clean NE groundswell, but with ENE winds hammering it straight on the cross day in and day out, it’s a washout. If you’re really desperate to get wet, this setup looks way more suitable for a kite than a surfboard. The crowds won’t be an issue at least—nobody’s gonna be out there in this stuff.
Keep your head up, though. Forecasts change. For now, leave the board in the car and wait for a better day.

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.
