Doldrums Continue on Maui
We've still got some pretty funky weather going on here. Lots and lots of clouds, some rain, hardly any wind. There's a Kona low northwest of Kauai pulling up lots of moisture and clouds. Unfortunately that low isn't really bringing the Kona winds that these lows often do. It's just effectively shutting off the trades. Things really don't look like they're going to improve in the near term. Here's a quote from the latest National Weather Service forecast discussion:
"THE GFS 150
SHOWS MUCH DRIER WEATHER STARTING NEXT TUESDAY AS THE WINDS ALOFT
SHIFT TO NORTHWEST. THE GFS 150 STILL SHOWS NO RETURN OF TRADE WINDS
THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH."

Hey Jeff we just got off the water at Kihei sailing Konas. My 5.8 over powered Bernd on a 3.8 same. Sailed with a really big Monk Seal inside the reef for awhile. Like I said earlier Kihei can go off anytime in this weather you just have to be ready. See ya.
