Winter Winds in Maui

We seem to be in a definite winter wind pattern here on Maui. Last week we saw very strong and gusty winds and noticeable cooler temperatures - both air and water. Last Saturday was sailable but squalls kept coming through and messing with the wind. I spent several hours waiting but never got on the water. Sunday was an improvement. Got some 5.8 then 5.0 sailing, though the direction was very offshore and thus light on the inside and gusty. Monday and Tuesday saw similar conditions - moderate winds at times ahead of squalls, then they would back off when the squall passed. Kind of frustrating. Similar to sailing cold fronts on the mainland, but with a much higher frequency and shorter duration of windy periods.

Today is light wind, though there don't seem to be any squalls today - just clear blue skies. May get some north wind tomorrow, meaning Kihei would be the best bet.
