Wind on AutoPilot
The Maui trade winds have been on auto pilot this past week, with winds predictably in the 4.5 to 5.0 range for guys each afternoon. Monday and Tuesday there were waves on the north shore, but that has since declined. I stopped by Kanaha yesterday afternoon just to check it out. 4.5 conditions were prevailing with some smallish backside riding waves at Uppers. Great conditions for blasting around or trying tricks.
Lots of good swell on the south sides of the Hawaiian islands this past week, so Diamond Head on Oahu is probably going off, as well as the few places on Maui that get good wind and south swell, maybe La Perouse and the west side.
The second Maui Race Series race is today at Kanaha Beach Park, so it will be a hub of activity today. Looks like good conditions setting up for it - mostly clear and sunny skies, temps should be in the upper 80s, wind should be in the low to mid 20s. Great racing conditions.

Can you post any updates on the series? Maybe Speedy can get in the mix!

I don't have much info on the race series and Speedy decided not to race this year. Usually the Maui News posts results, but they haven't been doing it this year.
What I do know is that it got pretty stinking windy yesterday. Racers were on their smallest sails. I hear there's a few more classes this year and that turn out is good, but I don't have any data other than that.
Just got a new camcorder so I may get some video of the next one in two weeks.
