THE SKINNY

A storm system is moving over Maui today, bringing strong winds, periods of heavy rain, and rapidly rising surf. A High Surf Advisory is in effect for Northwest and Ka’anapali, along with a Flood Watch across the island. While the South Shore is relatively calm early, conditions could deteriorate as winds increase and rain moves in. Conditions can change quickly. The system could pass faster than forecast, but dangerous surf and strong winds are still expected.

Northwest: 0.0

Extremely dangerous ocean conditions. A large north swell is rapidly building with waves expected to become huge through the day. Powerful currents, breaking waves along the shoreline, and strong winds are creating extremely hazardous conditions throughout the zone. Heavy rain is possible at times.

Ka’anapali: 1.5

Stormy conditions. While clearing is possible, seas are already hazardous and expected to become extremely dangerous as a powerful north swell rises. Waves will build through the day and may reach 10 feet or higher later in the day. Strong winds, powerful currents, and scattered showers, possibly heavy at times, are expected.

South Shore: 5.0

Relatively calm early this morning with smaller waves and lighter wind compared to elsewhere. However, strong winds are expected to increase through the day and could quickly make conditions rough and hazardous. Rain chances are higher this afternoon. Conditions may change rapidly.
