The forecasters have once again blundered in their Maui wind forecast, at least for the northshore. While we've had strong high pressure, strong gradients and it has been windy as hell in Kihei, Maui's northshore has been under assualt by clouds that haven't brought a lot of rain, but have tended to dampen the wind substantially and make conditions very up and down throughout each day.

I was lucky yesterday to time my session during the late afternoon once a squall had passed and got a very fun hour blasting around on 5.3. There were even some freakish waves at Uppers to play in, although they were very small and not really breaking much, it still provided some fun terrain to play in. Fun time since it initially didn't look very promising.
