Jersey Shore and Maui coastal weather and surf forecasts

Weather and marine forecasts for the Jersey Shore and Maui indicate varying coastal conditions for late August.

In the Jersey Shore area, ocean temperatures are reported between 76° and 82°, which is above the normal range of 72° to 79°. The forecast includes low rip current risks with waves between 1 and 2 feet. Winds are expected to be from the west at 9 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 15 mph.

In Maui, surf conditions vary by shore orientation. East-facing shores are expected to remain rough and choppy due to persistent trade wind swell, with wave heights between 5 and 7 feet. South-facing shores are seeing surf below the summer average as a small south swell fades, though a slightly larger long-period south swell is expected to arrive mid-week and peak between Thursday and Friday.
