first unofficial Maui Makani AWT contest forecast

This is the list of the registered (so far) competitors for the windsurfing contest.
In the expert division, the amount of talent is undeniably stellar... it will be a lot of fun to watch!


Unfortunately, below is the weather map modeled for October 28, day 2 of the 6 days waiting period. If that is going to be confirmed, despite the miraculous wind acceleration ability of the Haleakala, there will be no wind to be accelerated and it will be a glassy day for surfing...
Day one looks just as bad, let's hope the something will change for the next days otherwise it would be a big bummer.
That high pressure on the left needs to move east and merge with the one to the right and then there will be wind...
Clearly, that's the latest map available by the models. Stay tuned, I'll post the other ones when they become available.


Note: I'm stoked to do the contest, because I think it would be a lot of fun. I could not care less of how well I do. Cheers.

Perfect. You can always rely on a wind competition to shut the wind down. It's practically guaranteed!
