The tidal differences between high and low tides and less. OAHU-337 PM HST TUE JUL 28 2020. Swells can travel great distances across the deep oceans without losing too much energy. Shallow water can make the waves get steeper and more hollow.
IWarm, sunny to partly cloudy days are the rule for August. Tradewinds blow on the average 61% of the time.
Clear and warm days prevail between these showery periods. This gives an indication of the general waves size, however individual waves may be far larger than the average, and may be up to two times higher than the significant wave height.The Moons gravity creates the tides. Because Maui is nested among several other islands much of the swell can be blocked by the surrounding islands. The strong winds blow across the surface of the ocean (called a fetch), for several days generating waves that become swell. When the isobars are closely packed there will be strong winds, and when they are pointing at the islands, there is a good chance that a swell will be heading our way. Winter storms also more regularly send large waves onto the North and West shores. Cross-shore waves may also produce strong long-shore currents too.The factors that affect waves are many, the direction of the waves depends on the angle (vector) of the wind that created them, then also depends on “shadowing” behind neighboring islands, then refraction (bending/wrapping), and diffraction (spreading) around the islands due to changes in water depth.
If you shortboard, you may find Maui a little less pleasing than Kaua’i or O’ahu, but you’ll still get some fun waves depending on the time of year and spot. Find out about Maui surf lessons by calling (808) 442-6436.
May averages for different locations on Maui Lahaina 85-67 F. (28.9C-18.3C) 1.05″ of precipitation Hana 80-68 F. (26.7C-19.4C) 8.95″ of precipitation Kahului 84-67 F. (27.8C-18.9C) .62″ of precipitation, Kahului % of possible daytime sunshine: 58%.The predicted tidal heights are affected by low pressure “storm” systems that create less surface pressure, and cause higher than expected tides. Normally they stay far away, but when they get close enough to the island, they make the residents uncomfortable with the muggy atmosphere they produce.
A steep shelf/reef or shoreline will cause the wave to gain height quickly. Unit 4B is a ground floor 2 bedroom Maui VRBO vacation rental condo, 12ft from the oceanfront. The moon phase determines whether the tidal range will be big (spring tides) or small (neap tides).
Ocean Sports including, Paddle-boarding, body-surfing, body-boarding, longboard surfing, shortboard surfing, canoe surfing, wave ski surfing, stand-up paddle surfing, are some of the most popular ways to enjoy the breaking waves.
Great camera to check surf conditions on the Valley Isle. Large surf impacts the North and West shores. Wave direction is significant when forecasting because swell can become blocked by a neighboring island. TIDAL RANGE: Hawaii has a small tidal range varying from 1.5 to 2.5 feet difference from low to high tide heights. Swell shadows also come from our own headlands and shield certain beaches from receiving certain swells.
MAUI SURF REPORT. Always Take Surfing lessons from a professional instructor. Read on for more helpful information!The direction from which the swell is coming is called the swell direction. Tradewinds are blowing on the average 71% of the time. Tradewinds are blowing on the average 94% of the time. Occasionally a tropical storm or Hurricane will get close enough to Maui to cause our winds to stop and the humidity to rise to uncomfortable levels, though it is unusual. These “Waverider Buoys” relay the information to us about the size (wave height) and duration (period) of the waves as they pass underneath the buoys.
The swell travels along in the same direction as the wind that created them.
Other shores may get a wrap around wave but it will be less powerful than the direct wave.The wave direction shows the direction from where the waves are coming from. There is a swell direction model that shows the predicted effect of the islands on the incoming swell.The weather continues to be very warm, the height of summer here in the tropics. An island of contrasts such as lush green valleys and arid coastline, tropical fruits and flowers and barren lava and cactus, low plains and towering peaks, but most importantly, the whole of Maui is fringed with surf.
This will make the waves break earlier at a given location.
Surfers usually go out early to take advantage of the light morning winds. Tradewinds are still fanning the island with great regularity. Extremely large surf can be 30 to 40 seconds between waves.
Waves that break at an angle to shore can produce a longer ride. In some years, Maui begins to see the first winter-like storms that are far out to sea in the North Pacific they sometimes can produce the first large waves of the season.
