Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Waihee (Waihee) has on offer. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead. There isn’t a single good surf day in this whole forecast window. The first record for any surf starts on Saturday the 4th of July, and from there it’s a long, grinding run of nothing but poor conditions straight through to Sunday the 19th of July. That’s over two weeks of pretty bleak reading.
The issue is relentless cross-onshore wind, blowing from the ENE at 12–18 mph, just chopping everything up. The swell direction is from the ENE, which is the opposite of the optimum direction this spot wants. Swell heights hover around 4 ft to 6 ft, with the combined wave energy ranging from moderate to strong (values between 176 and 407), but it don’t matter when the wind is ruining every face. The period is short, mostly 7–8 seconds – that’s just windswell junk. There is one oddball on the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July where it shows a 2 ft swell from the WNW with a 15-second period (a long period groundswell), but the cross-on wind still kills it. That setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that constant breeze.
Waihee is a reef and point setup, fairly consistent, but with these conditions it’s just not gonna happen. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" which would be fine on a good day, but not when it’s this messy. For now, it’s a write-off. Don’t bother paddling out until the trades ease off.
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.
