Table - best surf conditions forecast for Windmills over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Okay, first and only real option is Windmills, an advanced reef setup. The whole 16-day forecast is a bit of a struggle. The one window to watch is Wednesday, July 29th. Expect head-high to overhead surf around 8ft from the NE, with very strong energy (1040). The wind is the big draw – a light cross-off in the morning turning glassy offshore in the afternoon. That’s about as clean as it gets.
The break is fairly consistent but often packed, so expect company. The water temp is a crazy warm 80°F, well above the norm. From early on (July 24th) through to the 28th, it’s all messy cross-shore junk. After Wednesday it sinks back into poor conditions with lumpy wind. For the vast majority of this period the setup looks more suited to a kite than a surfboard. By August 7th the swell drops to 2ft with weak energy (97), so that’s as tiny as it gets.

Information about the Windmills Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Windmills provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Windmills can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Windmills 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 (Windmills) 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 Windmills 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.
Windmills is 20 km (12 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.
