The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory effective through 6pm this evening for Maui’s north facing shores. A new round of north-northwest swell is expected to fill in today to offer surf at near double-overhead levels at our better exposed breaks. This swell is shorter period than what we’ve been used to [...]
The big northwest swell has dropped significantly but the addition of another minor west-northwest swell will still offer head-high surf at most of the better breaks today. A small to moderate north-northwest swell is expected to arrive Friday afternoon that should keep the action going through Saturday when another smaller and weaker pulse arrives out [...]
The warning has been downgraded to a High Surf Advisory that still remains in effect through 6pm this evening for Maui’s north facing shores as the large northwest swell continues with wave heights still in the double-overhead range at the better breaks. A new northwest swell is expected to reach Hawai`i overnight Thursday into Friday [...]
The High Surf Warning will remain in effect through 6pm this evening due to a very large northwest swell slamming the Hawaiian islands. This swell will continue to offer big surf along our winter shores today with a little less west-northwesterly component, primarily out of 315°. The surf should still be in the triple-overhead plus [...]
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for Maui’s north facing shores effective from 6am this morning through 6pm Tuesday evening due to the arrival of a very large west-northwest to northwest swell. The 51101 Northwest Buoy has been indicating a steady increase overnight into this morning and it’s still rising as [...]
The High Surf Advisory remains in effect through 6pm this evening as a large northwest swell continues to pound Maui’s north facing shores. This energy is expected to drop through the day but will still offer large surf, especially through the morning and early afternoon. The 51101 Northwest Buoy has seen a significant and steady [...]
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory effective through 6pm Sunday evening due to an incoming west-northwest to northwest swell building through the day. The 51101 Northwest Buoy has been showing quite impressive numbers beginning last night but don’t be surprised if it takes a while for the swell to make its [...]
Lingering swell left over from the northwest combined with slightly increased northerly swell should continue to offer excellent surf today at overhead levels. The extra westerly component offered some fun surf for those who knew where to look, although there probably won’t be much of that left today. A new round of west-northwesterly swell [...]
The combination of northwest and northerly swell should keep our winter shores going today, but don’t expect any big surf as the swell appears to be smaller than anticipated. Another round of large west-northwest to northwest swell is expected to reach the state early Saturday morning but probably won’t reach Maui until later in the [...]
Although a high surf advisory has been posted for the islands of Ni`ihau and Kaua`i today, Maui is not included and will see smaller surf. A new northwest swell should build into the near double-overhead range today but it will probably fade to smaller levels rather quickly yet holding on through most of Friday. A [...]
The north-northwest swell should still linger at small but fun-sized levels today but will slowly decrease through the day. A new round of northwest swell is expected to arrive overnight into Wednesday but probably won’t offer much until later Wednesday morning. Although an advisory is likely to be posted, Maui most likely won’t see surf [...]
Another round of small west-northwest swell should still offer a little something to ride along our winter shores today as well as a few west exposed breaks along select summer shores. Don’t expect too much, but there could be some fun sized sets at the better breaks. A larger northwest swell is expected to arrive [...]
No updates this weekend. I am sorry that I won’t be able to make any updates this weekend. The surf will be small and there won’t be much to talk about anyway. The report and forecast will return Monday morning. Mahalo for understanding…
Weak west-northwest swell will keep at least some minor surf going along our [...]
The Internet as we know it as being threatened
You may have already heard about two bills running through Congress called SOPA and PROTECTIP. If you haven’t, please take a few moments today to learn how these two bills could damage and censor the Internet if passed. Your Government wants to use the same tactics that [...]
Although a high surf advisory has been posted for Kaua`i and Ni`ihau, Maui is not included. The west-northwest swell has been largely blocked by our neighbor islands but we could still see some head-high plus surf at select breaks today. The long-range forecast is looking rather grim as the main flow continues to push the [...]
Tiny to small leftovers may still be found along our north and northwest facing shores today but it’s on the way down. A new west-northwest swell is expected to arrive late in the day, and although it probably won’t reach Maui until after the sun sets, there is a chance that we could see some [...]
Not much action should be expected today although minor leftovers should still be found at the better north shore breaks. A series of northwest to north swells are expected over the next several days beginning with a new northwest swell anticipated to arrive Monday, most likely well under advisory levels. A second swell should fill [...]
The north-northwesterly swell has peaked and will be on the way down and out today, but it should still offer plenty small to low-end moderate surf to play on. The western to central North Pacific is still kind of a jumble as a gyre makes its way across the ocean, but we won’t see any [...]
Although a high surf advisory has been posted for Kaua`i, Ni`ihau and the Big Island, Maui is not included. The current west-northwest to northwest swell will fade through the day today, and may still offer a few larger sets through the morning. A series of upper-end small to lower-end moderate northwest swells will keep our [...]
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory for Maui’s north facing shores effective 6am this morning through 6am Thursday morning due to an incoming west-northwest to northwest swell. Don’t be surprised to see small and fading surf this morning, as it will take some time for this energy to work its way [...]
