Super Sunday and Monday
Big swell hit the north shore of Maui yesterday, big enough to make Jaws break and close out Hookipa. Lowers was logo and mast high and Uppers was huge. Winds were 5.0. Very nice day of sailing. For those of you stuck on the mainland or elsewhere in the world, or on a couch yesterday, you missed an epic day (sorry Jazz, don't want to rub it in too much but you would have loved it yesterday).
Today the waves were a bit mellower. Still some occasional mast high sets at Lowers. Uppers came down a notch so that only one of the reefs was breaking at opposed to yesterday when the outer reef was breaking. 5.0 was a little light today, 5.4 would have been perfect most of the time except for a brief stint of mid-20s in the late afternoon.
Light winds should take hold tomorrow, followed by another shear line on Wednesday followed by another brief stint of trades on Thursday and Friday.

Got any vid clips of the recent Jaws event?

I don't, sorry. I'm not sure it was a very big event by Jaws standards. I heard from Dave Blyth (the guy who took the photo at the top of the page) that it was pretty windy so it would be a windsurfing day there. He said Robby and company were going out. I haven't run across anyone who actually was there to witness the action though.
