Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. The outlook for Waihee is a tough pill to swallow. We’ve got a 16-day window but it’s looking like a long stretch without any quality waves.

The pattern is locked in from the start on Wednesday, July 8th. Through to at least July 20th, we are dealing with a relentless cross-onshore breeze. It’s blowing from the ENE at a steady 12 to 15 mph, and that’s just trashing any chance of clean surf at Waihee. The swell is sitting around 5 to 6 feet, coming from the ENE, but with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is mostly moderate, in the 300s, occasionally hitting the 400s, but with that wind, it’s just choppy and ugly.

Even when the swell drops to around 4 feet on the 15th, the wind stays nasty. There’s nothing here for a surfer. It’s poor conditions all the way, and no standout sessions in sight.

Heading into the second week, things don’t get much better early on. There’s a little bump on July 18th with the swell back up to about 6 feet and the energy hitting 440, but again, that cross-onshore wind is still ruining the party. Just more of the same grindy, onshore chop.

Then, around July 22nd, we get a shift. The swell drops to just 3 feet, but the period jumps up to 14 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate (427). That’s a classic long-period groundswell signal, but the size is tiny and the wind is still cross-on. For a spot like Waihee, which is a reef and point setup, that longer period would be killer, but there’s just not enough water moving to get excited about.

So, the bottom line? There are zero standout days in this 16-day window. The ENE trade winds have just locked in a horrible pattern. If you find a break somewhere else, go for it, but at Waihee, it’s a waiting game. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, a blank run like this is unusual, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope entirely, but this one is a solid pass right now.

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.
