THE SKINNY

A beautiful day on Maui this Earth Day, a great reminder to mālama ʻāina every day by taking care of the land and ocean that give us so much.

Ocean conditions are being heavily impacted by a strong northerly swell along with a smaller westerly swell. The south side is seeing the smallest waves, though the surf is up. Clouds may increase later. As always, conditions can change quickly.

With rough ocean conditions across the island today, you may consider these alternative options:

Maui Escape Room – Whalers Village
Maui Ocean Center

Northwest: 1.5

Extremely dangerous ocean conditions. Powerful waves, strong currents, and undertow. Please stay well back from the shoreline, as waves can crash high and unexpectedly. Surf will continue building through the day, becoming even more hazardous. Mostly sunny early, with clouds possibly increasing later.

Ka’anapali: 4.0

Absolutely beautiful weather with sunshine and light winds, though ocean conditions are more challenging. Waves are building through the day due to the northerly and westerly swells. The surf is smaller early, though currents are extremely strong and waves will wrap in more as the day goes on. Conditions could change quickly.

South Shore: 6.5

Another amazing day with light winds and sunshine. Waves are breaking in many areas and can affect entry, exit, and visibility. Surf is smallest along the Kamaole Beaches with conditions becoming more hazardous from Wailea down through Makena. Expect increasing surf through the day. Clouds may build later.
