Maui beats forecasters again

The forecasters just can't seem to get it right. 5 to 15 was the call today, but Maui seems to be able to pull out more than the forecasters think. The wind came up mid-day and by 2:00 I was fully powered on my 5.0. Wind even built a bit more into the mid-20s, but I stayed with the 5.0. No waves anywhere around Kanaha today, but some fun rolling wind swell outside. On the way home, I passed by Kihei and noticed a guy ripping up some waist-high waves in the strong wind that came up here. Wind graphs show that Kihei blew in the upper 20s to low 30s today. Might have been better than the north shore since there was little south swell to generate some waves.
