Beautiful day of winter sailing on Maui's north shore yesterday. There was supposed to be a really big swell, but I'm guessing the direction was too much out of the west and was partially blocked by Molokai. We had, waves, but they weren't the ginormous size that a lot of people were expecting. Lots of head- to logo-high sets at Lowers and Uppers both. Lowers was a lot less crowded than usual. Kind of surprising given that I heard that Hookipa was closed out. Anyway, wind was mostly in the 5.0 to 5.5 range with some occasionally stronger periods in the 4.7 range. As I said, Lowers was actually kinda nice. Only a couple of guys per wave at most, very manageable. Uppers was only a half dozen people total. A nice day of sailing all in all.

Looks like we might get a couple more days of wind. Waves are on the decline at the moment but another swell is coming in a couple of days. Around mid-next week it looks like the winds may disappear for awhile again. It is winter here after all.
