Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waihee over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta level with you – this forecast is a bust. Over the next 16 days, from July 10th all the way through July 25th, there’s not a single decent session.
The wind is a constant enemy: blowing from the ENE at 12 to 19 mph, cross-onshore, turning the ocean into a choppy, lumpy mess. The swell shows up most days, running between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the period is short (6 to 8 seconds), so the waves have no punch or shape. The combined wave energy peaks at 441 on July 12th, but that’s just raw, messy power – not the kind that puts a smile on your face.
The only break in the game is Waihee (Maui). It’s a reef and point that prefers swell from the NNE, but we’re stuck with windswell from the ENE and E. Not ideal. Water temp is 79°F, pretty normal for the time of year. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” but honestly, on days like these, you’ll have the place to yourself – and you’ll probably want to.
There’s a tiny glimmer on July 22nd and 23rd, where the period jumps to 12–14 seconds – good, long-period groundswell. But the height drops to just 2 ft to 2 ft, and that cross-onshore breeze is still ruining the surface. The energy levels (330 and 226) hint at something offshore, but on the beach it’s small and bumpy.
Bottom line: there’s no day I’d tell you to paddle out. Waihee doesn’t usually sit this flat and ugly for so long – forecasts can change – but right now, leave the board at home. That wind and lumpy water is better for a kite than a surfboard.
Hang tight, check back later.
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.
