It's Friday morning here on Maui and we're starting to clear out from underneath the pesky clouds that have been plagueing us this week. Winds this week have been pretty flukey. The overall wind direction across the island chain has been out of the southeast. That tends to make the windsurfing flukey at best on Maui. Usually it makes things totally unsailable, but somehow it was actually sailable the last few days, though winds were very offshore on the northshore and very gusty and holey.

Got out yesterday afternoon for a surprise session - 5.7 and 90L. Inside the reef, the wind was almost non-existant. Once outside the reef though, the 5.7 was pretty powered most of the time except for occasional lulls where the wind would absolutely go to nothing. This happened a couple of times resulting in a dozen guys bobbing around in the break at Uppers. A veritable windsurfer smorgasboard for the tiger sharks. But, luckily they must still all be on the south side sampling the treats in Kihei and Wailea.

We should start seeing things improve today through the weekend. Wind should swing around to better direction. Supposed to be another north-northeast swell coming in today too.
