Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waihee over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Waihee.
Over this 16-day stretch, it's a real bummer. The wind is stuck out of the ENE at a steady 12 to 16 mph for almost the whole run, coming straight across the face of the waves. That constant cross-onshore breeze is making it choppy and ugly. No clean windows to speak of.
We get a little pulse of swell around the 12th and 13th of July, with wave heights around 6 ft to 7 ft. The combined energy bumps up into a moderate range (between 439 and 443), so there is some power. But with that wind and a short period of just 8 seconds, it's going to be a messy, bumpy mess. It's all marked as poor surf.
The water's sitting at a warm 79°, which is totally normal for this time of year.
After that, from the 14th of July on, the swell backs off. Energy drops into the low hundreds, wave heights hang between 3 ft and 6 ft, and we're still stuck with that same cross-onshore wind. Periods stay short at 6 to 8 seconds. It's just no good.
There's nothing in this 16-day window worth paddling out for. Every single bit of the forecast is poor. For a spot like Waihee, an exposed reef and point that needs a clean direction, this constant ENE wind is a killer.
This setup, with the strong side wind and beach-and-reef layout, looks a lot more fun for kite surfing than for us.
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.
