Alright folks, Rusty here again, in imperial. So, we’ve got Waihee as the only spot in the mix, and the outlook is a rough one. For the whole 16-day stretch, starting now and going through to Sunday, July 19th, it’s the same old story: onshore wind and junk surf. There’s no standout day, no clean session, no reason to wet a line. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross-on at 12 to 19 mph, keeping it choppy and bumpy. The swell is mostly ENE too, which doesn’t match what Waihee wants – it needs a good NNE for quality.
From Saturday, July 4th, you’ve got a 5-foot ENE windswell with a period of only 8 seconds and a weak combined energy of 337. Water temp is 79°F, right around average for the time of year, but the surf is “poor” across the board. This just repeats. By Monday, July 6th, the swell bumps up to 6 feet in the afternoon, and energy hits 397 – still moderate – but wind picks up to 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. That’s more kite-surf weather than paddling.
Around Tuesday, July 14th, the swell shifts to straight east, dropping to 4 to 4 feet, but the period stays short (8 seconds), wind is still cross-on, and the energy is actually higher at 364 to 397. Still poor. By the end, Saturday and Sunday, July 18th and 19th, it’s 5 to 5-foot swell, period 7 to 8 seconds, cross-on at 12 mph, energy around 263 to 299. No real change. This spot is fairly consistent normally, but with this onshore wind lock, it’s a washout.
Bottom line: nothing good here. If you’re a kiter, the steady cross-on wind might work, but for a surfer, save the gas. Forecasts can shift, but right now, stay home.

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.
