The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Waihee, and it’s a grim outlook for the next two weeks.
The water is 80°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no weird anomalies there.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first time you might even consider a paddle is Wednesday, July 29th. That morning, we’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the ENE. That’s a big wave, only for the experts. The wind is a light WSW cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is strong (2291). The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a mixed bag. The afternoon drops to 7ft from the east, with a cross-shore wind that will give you a little bit of chop.
After that, it’s a disaster. The wind is from the east or ENE, blowing 15 to 22 mph, and it’s all cross-onshore. The swell hangs around 5ft to 6ft, but with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds, it’s just lumpy, choppy, and ugly.
There’s a tiny moment on the 4th and 5th of August where the swell drops and the wind eases, but the energy is weak and the conditions are still marginal. A few 5ft swells from the ENE with a 12-second period show up, but the cross-on wind kills it.
The 6th and 7th of August have lighter winds, but the swell is still short-period and the energy is low. It’s just not going to be a good wave.
This is a long, tough run for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent. The only real standout is that Wednesday morning, July 29th, with the 8ft clean swell. That’s the one for the brave. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
