Light Wind

It’s a light wind pattern here on Maui the last couple of days. The overall flow across the state is predominantly southeast, but Maui has been able to work a little of its magic and somehow translate that to light east-northeast winds at Kanaha and Hookipa yesterday and today. Too light for me to be tempted but there have been a couple of brief periods of wind in the upper teens at times. Mostly its been around 14 mph or so. Saw a few sailors out today on the wind cam so those who are here on vacation and have big sails were probably able to get on the water for a bit.
We’ve got a pretty unsettled weather pattern and it looks to continue with the overall southeast flow, so I’m not expecting conditions to be any better than today through at least this week. Realistically it could actually go even lighter and there’s also a potential for heavy rain. We’re also expecting several big swells on the north shore over the next several days.
