  • Overall Conditions:  South swell has kicked up again. Light winds this morning. The beach locations are most likely still stirred up. Ahihi Kinau might be doable but its a bit of a rugged spot so if in doubt don’t go out. Head to West Maui for way better conditions.
  • Webcams: Wailea Marriott, Sugar Beach, Kalama Park, Rentals Maui
  • Surf: 3-4ft.
  • Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming W 5 to 8 kt in the afternoon. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
  • Notes: Winds may fill in later, always best to get out early.
