Small southerly energies of different periods at the buoys. I believe the longest period one is the angular spreading of a swell aimed at central America. You can see the fetch (blue circle) in the map of June 26 below. Surfline only calls for 1.7ft 17s at sunset, but it might be less than that.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Very small declining NW energy at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasionally bigger sets.

Hookipa yesterday.


Inexplicably, the Sports Tracker GPS app I use to track my downwinders doesn't have wingfoiling and Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling (!), so for the first I chose windsurfing and for the second mountain biking.
The June recap shows a total of 44 downwind runs, between the two disciplines. That's why I don't feel like traveling anymore. And that's also why I don't surf much anymore, as I got spoiled by the wonderful lack of interaction with other people around competing for a limited amount of waves.
Furthermore, conditions are always different and if you throw in the test of different foils (to which luckily I often have access), the need for variety is amply satisfied.
Consequently, this has been the best summer of my Maui life, also thanks to the skills I developed in three years of practice: I am loving it.
