Kona Winds Backing Off

The Kona winds we've been having have slowly been fading the last few days. As I predicted, wind strength slackened considerably on Monday and Tuesday. Probably windy enough for big gear in Kihei. I have heard reports of some killer conditions at Lanes Ho'okipa. We've been having a huge swell. Heard the pros have been sailing double mast high at Lanes in these Kona winds. Should be some cool photos of that in the magazines this spring.

Winds are even lighter today, but another cold front is supposed to drop down in another day or two so that may usher in more Kona winds. So far the trade winds have yet to make an appearance this year.
