Wind Down, But Not Out

After weeks of nearly endless strong winds, Maui windsurfers are getting a bit of relief this weekend. Yesterday's winds started out looking like they would be another day of blasting conditions. I sailed comfortably powered on 4.5 in the morning. The graphs show wind only around 20 mph around that time, more proof that they are reading low. Shortly after noon, the winds started dropping and clocked around to a more onshore direction, making big sails required - 5.8 and big board for me. Kind of a nice change of pace actually.

Winds today are even lighter - mostly in the mid-teens. I'll leave that for the kiters.
