Hana Bay surf guide

Hana Bay is located on the eastern edge of Maui, in a spot that feels a bit remote but is worth checking out if you're in the area. The bay is protected by reefs on both sides, which helps keep some of the more powerful swells at bay. The easterly trade winds blow in consistently throughout the year, which means you can generally find some waves here. However, the trade winds can also mess up the surf, making it choppy and less enjoyable. The best days happen when a front rolls through, bringing some nice offshore Kona winds.

When it comes to surfing, Hana Bay can handle swells from 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 meters), with a mix of directions including NorthNorthEast, NorthEast, and even some East-leaning swells. The waves here break over a combination of lava, rock, and coral, offering both lefts and rights. It’s a decent spot for various skill levels, with waves suitable for beginners to experts, especially when the conditions are right. Expect the ideal winds to come from the SouthSouthWest to NorthNorthWest, particularly after a passing front. The best tides to catch some good waves here are usually medium to high.

Access to the water is straightforward, and you can paddle out from almost any spot along the beach. The crowd factor is generally low, so you'll likely find some space to enjoy the waves without fighting for position. Just keep an eye out for the currents since they can be tricky and might require some extra paddling to stay in place. Overall, Hana Bay offers a pretty consistent surf experience, especially during autumn, winter, spring, and summer, making it a versatile option for your surf trip. Bring along a shortboard, funboard, or longboard if you're looking to catch some rides!

Readme

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
