Attack of the Lows

If you look at the Pacific Synoptic Feature map, it looks like Hawaii is under attack from a bunch of low pressure systems,surrounding us, and effectively laying seige and cutting off our supply of fresh trade winds. In addition to what's on the map, there's an upper level low between us and our trade wind producing high pressure to our north. All this has led to pretty light winds the last few days. Yesterday was light, but barely sailable on the north shore, windier in Kihei. Today and the rest of this week are looking lighter still. Current conditions this morning are absolutely calm. We'll likely see sea breezes develop this afternoon. So, if you're visiting Maui this week, it might be a good time to take up some snorkeling. There's also a south swell, so head on over to the south side - Kihei, Lahaina and get some surf.
