A new south-southwest to south swell may fill in along our south facing shores today that could reach into the waist- to chest-high range if we’re lucky, but don’t put too much faith in it. Very weak short-period energy out of the north-northeast may continue to offer tiny surf along exposed winter shores. Both of [...]
The surf will remain tiny to small today but a new south-southwest swell may appear later in the day, but will more likely take until Thursday to actually fill in. Don’t expect much size with this one, it may be close to the height of the previous swell but it shouldn’t be expected. Continuing short-period [...]
There won’t be any size on any shore today but lingering short-period swell from the north-northeast to northeast may still offer some minor surf along our winter shores while leftover south-southeast swell offers small to low-end moderate surf along the south shores. The energy from the northeast was produced by a fetch off of northern [...]
For the most part, the surf will be rather small today. But lingering south swell may still be found at the better breaks, just don’t expect anything over thigh-high or consistent. Another small to moderate south-southwest swell is anticipated to reach Hawai`i Wednesday but probably won’t fill in here on Maui until Thursday. Another round [...]
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mom’s out there! The only source for any surf today will be out of the south, and it is already on the way down. A small to moderate south swell arrived yesterday and offered fun surf at the better breaks but there were lots of locations that were [...]
We should see the arrival of another south swell today although most likely not filling in until later in the day. This long-period swell has the potential of reaching head-high levels at the better breaks, but as always, you’ll have to search for the good stuff and the wait between sets could be quite long [...]
A new south-southwest to south swell may show some forerunners before the end of the day today but will more likely not show up until Saturday morning. There is a good chance that this swell will peak at near or just overhead levels and it should last into Tuesday if we’re lucky. Another similar but [...]
The series of south swells will continue to offer small to moderate surf along our summer shores today and should stick around at least at small levels through the end of the week. Another round of south swell is expected to arrive Saturday. Although a tiny episode out of the north-northwest may still offer a [...]
The series of small to moderate south swells will continue today and through the rest of the week. A slightly larger pulse is due to arrive at some point today, but as usual, Maui may have to wait a bit longer for it to fill in. So don’t be shocked if it doesn’t offer much [...]
Select south shore breaks could see small sets rolling in out of the southwest if you know where to look but most of the summer shores will stay flat due to island shadowing. Swells from this direction are hit or miss unless they are substantially larger, which is not the case with this episode. Another [...]
There won’t be much surf to speak of today as even the windswell decreases to unrideable levels. A small southwest swell is passing by the islands but Maui is heavily shadowed from this direction, so we shouldn’t expect to see any of this swell. The same source for that swell redeveloped on the south-southeast side [...]
Windswell will again be the only source for surf today, offering waist- to chest-high rough and choppy surf for the most desperate of us. A small to moderate southwest swell is expected to reach Hawai`i’s south shores later today but Kaho`olawe will block nearly all of this energy from reaching Maui’s summer breaks. The windswell [...]
The mostly flat conditions will continue today with exception of a small to moderate rough windswell coming in from the east-northeast. Neither north nor south shores will see any groundswell so don’t expect to get your board wet today. A small southwest swell is expected to reach Hawai`i’s summer shores tomorrow, but Maui is heavily [...]
Flatness is settling in around the island with exception to a rough and sloppy easterly windswell at small to moderate levels. Some areas may be able to pick up an occasional set near head-high levels if you’re lucky, but don’t put too much faith in that hope. Unfortunately, this is all that we will have [...]
Fading to flat surf should be expected at most surf breaks today although a moderate windswell should still continue along the east and northeast facing shores and select breaks that are able to pull in some wrapping windswell. The tiniest amount of north-northwest swell may limp into a couple of the best breaks along the [...]
Although a few lucky breaks may still pull in minor surf on both the north and south sides of the island today don’t expect anything over thigh-high, with exception of the windswell possibly. There isn’t a whole lot of surf on the way through the forecast period but it looks like another south swell is [...]
The second south swell has filled in nicely to offer well-deserved surf along many of our summer breaks, and those who know where to paddle out should have scored nicely yesterday. This action will continue today at head-high levels at many breaks and possibly still overhead at the best locations. Although tiny to small leftovers [...]
The surf along our south facing shores will continue today and the light winds in the morning should offer nice conditions but the afternoon will be more breezy. Select summer breaks should see surf around waist- to chest-high levels fading into Saturday. Another slightly larger south-southwest to south swell is expected to arrive later Saturday [...]
A new south swell will fill in today, offering long-period but inconsistent surf around chest-high levels that could potentially rise to slightly higher heights at the best locations. This will kick off a fairly long-lived round of summer-like surf through the weekend as another larger swell is expected to arrive Saturday. The north shores will [...]
Fading surf should be all that we expect today although a new south swell is almost here and tiny forerunners may begin to appear before sundown. The windswell is on the way down and the north-northeast swell is more or less pau, so the winter shores won’t offer much action today. The incoming pair of [...]
