Summer Conditions Prevailing

The last few days we've seen summer conditions prevailing on Maui - fairly strong winds and no swell except wind swell - at least at Kanaha and Sprecks. I think the early session yesterday was probably best. I got on the water around 2:00 yesterday at Sugar Cove with 4.5 but by then it had gotten a bit holey. From what I heard, the early session was more consistent and a little better.

So, today I tried the early session - Kanaha 4.5 around noon to 1:30. The 4.5 was pretty good. Sailed Uppers to Camp One where there's some wind swell for backside riding, but the small north swell bump we had the other day is gone, at least at Kahaha. Hookipa may still have a little bit. Later in the day the wind kicked in a little stronger, probably into the 4.2 range, but I had called it a day by then. All in all, a very nice day for sailing with sunny skies, hot temps, blue water and strong winds. Looks like we'll get a couple more days of this then things get a little more uncertain. Winds could drop as early as the beginning of next week and the latest forecast is calling for winds to really lighten up the latter part of next week.
