Another fun, windy day here in paradise. The last couple of days have been characterized by moderate to strong trades with some occasional light squalls that squelch the wind for a bit. 4.5 - 5.0 has been the call for most guys. 5.0 was a tad much for me today, 4.5 or 4.7 would have been perfect in the mid-afternoon that I sailed. There were a few surprising small waves coming in occasionally at Uppers, perhaps forerunners of the north swell we're supposed to get tonight and tomorrow.

That swell was pretty much the talk of Kanaha today as everyone speculated when exactly it would hit. To be sure, lots of Maui windsurfers are carbing up and getting to bed early tonight in eager anticipation for the rare late-season north swell. Can't wait!
