Maui Surf Report for May 17th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 16th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 15th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 14th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 13th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 12th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 11th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 9th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 8th, 2012

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 [...]

Maui Surf Report for May 7th, 2012

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 [...]
