Light Winds
Light winds prevailed the last several days here on Maui, making for light wind and Formula windsurfing at best. I didn't bother even going to the beach the last few days, but felt like blowing off work Friday afternoon. Wind was too light for my 5.8 except for a brief period late in the afternoon.
If you believe the forecasters, things could get interesting this weekend. High surf warning goes into effect tomorrow for a large northwest swell. Combine that with the forecast below from NWS and it has all the makings for some major insanity on the water:
"Saturday...Partly cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning...Then scattered showers in the afternoon. Windy. Highs 82 to 88. Northeast winds 15 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Sunday...Partly cloudy with isolated showers. Windy. Highs 83 to 89. Northeast winds 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 50 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. "
The forecasters have been doing a crappy job predicting wind lately in my opinion, but they're long overdue to get a forecast right.
