Alright, let's get real with the outlook for Waihee (Maui). This is a reef and point setup, and the optimum swell here is from the NNE, but that's not what we're getting.
Right now and for the foreseeable future, we're stuck in a tough pattern. The wind is hammering out of the ENE, blowing cross-on and making a mess of things. The swell is coming from the ENE and NE, which isn't ideal for this spot, and the period is short, around 7-8 seconds. That means weak, choppy, jumbled surf. The wave energy (combined energy) sits between 200 and 370 for most of the first week, so moderate, but it's wasted with the onshore wind.
Looking at Friday July 3rd, you've got 5 feet of short-period ENE swell with a 12 mph cross-on breeze. It's not going to be pretty. That sets the tone for the weekend and into the next week. Saturday and Sunday are similar: 5 feet, short period, same wind. Monday July 6th pushes up to 6 feet with a 19 mph breeze in the arvo, which is too big for beginners and looks more like a kiting day than a surf day.
There is a brief window on the morning of Tuesday July 14th where we see a tiny 1 feet groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 15 seconds (combined energy 201). That's the only hint of something different, but the wind is still cross-on at 16 mph, so it will be messy. A long-period swell like that needs clean conditions, and we don't have them.
Honestly, throughout this entire 16-day run, the score is a flat zero. There are no standout sessions. The wind is relentless out of the east, the swell direction is wrong, and the quality is poor. Crowds at Waihee can be a thing sometimes, but with conditions this bad, it'll be quiet. This is a blank run for good surf.

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.
