Light Winds Take Hold

As predicted, light winds have taken hold of the islands. Looks like several cold fronts will be passing through the island chain. They're apparently going to be pretty weak, so they won't bring much in the way of rain, but they will push the tradewind-producing high-pressure ridge away from it's favorable position north of us. If you're on a windsurfing vacation here in Maui over the next week or so, the best chance for wind may actually be SW winds on the Kihei side. There might be some north winds on Saturday, but when winds are due north, it's best just to go to Kihei.

So, while the winds are light, check out photos from the recent Matt Pritchard wave clinic held at Kanaha a couple of weeks ago. Not the highest quality photos, but you get the idea of what was going on. For those interested and on island later this month, Matt will be holding another wave clinic on March 19. You can get more details at HST - Hawaiian Sailboarding Techniques, who are putting on the clinic in conjunction with Matt.
