Too Sick To Sail
The conditions here on Maui on New Year's weekend resembled Seattle windsurfing more than Maui. A cold front swept through the islands bringing very wet SW winds. Being "under the weather" with the flu the last several days, I wasn't even tempted to go sail in the pouring rain, though I'm sure many Seattle windsurfers would have loved it.
Winds today were supposed to be light NW, but surprise, Maui didn't get the forecast memo again. Winds blew a steady mid 20s SW all day at Kihei with cloudy skies and somewhat cool temps for Maui (highs in the 70s). I'm still recovering from the flu, so I forced myself to stay home and work rather than go play.

windguru.cz had it mostly right for today (prediction was SW, up to 19 knots).
There was quite a bit of surf and most people stayed inside the reef. There were a number of people that had problems getting back upwind (with all the waves from the side), the wind direction wasn't all that nice.
