The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for the Waihee area, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch. The dominant wind is a persistent cross-onshore breeze from the ENE, which is going to keep things choppy and lumpy for the vast majority of the forecast. There are no real standout days, but we’ll walk through it.
The only option on the table is Waihee (reef and point), an intermediate spot that’s fairly consistent and exposed to swell. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there. The first few days are a write-off. From Saturday, August 1st through to Sunday, August 16th, the story is the same: onshore wind, messy surf. The combined swell energy is mostly moderate, ranging from (75) up to (861) through the period, but it’s all wind-affected and short-period (5 to 11 seconds), so the shape is just not there.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Tuesday, August 4th. Swell is 5 ft from the ENE with a longer period of 11 seconds, giving it a bit more push. The combined energy is (505), which is moderate. But the wind is still a cross-on breeze from the NE, so while it’s the most promising window, it’s still only marginal. It’s a reef and point setup, so a longer period swell like that can work, but the wind just kills the quality.
After that, it’s a long grind of poor surf conditions. The wind doesn’t let up, and the swell stays onshore and short-period. It’s a bleak run, but for an exposed area like this, a blank spell isn’t unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep your eye on it, but for now, I’d save the energy.
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.
