  • Overall Conditions:  South swell has dissipated but waves are still present. Light winds this morning. The swell is predicted to continue to dissipate which should bring continued improved conditions into next week. Head to upper west Maui for better conditions today. If you prefer to stay in south Maui check Ahihi Kinau reserve but be careful as this can be a rugged spot.
