Before I forget, a couple of announcements.
1) We have lowered the price of the GoFoils at Hi-Tech to $1450 for the Maliko and $1350 for the Kai.
2) My friend Yves forgot his 7.0 Jimmy Lewis Destroyer at Hookipa a few days ago. Please call him to identify the color if you found it: 280-1272.
Another day of rest for me, but I managed to do a bit of windfoiling during my second successful lesson. I have another one lined up and it's happening. I'm more and more convinced I got the right gear to learn and the stoke for the student is pretty much guaranteed.

SW
1.3ft @ 12s from 149° (SE)
SE
1.4ft @ 12s from 150° (SE)
The above readings are the windswell created by the southern hemisphere trades and that direction should be blocked by the Big Island (shadow line around 160). As a result, the south shore should be pretty flat today.
North shore
NW
2.5ft @ 10s from 285° (WNW)
Waimea
1.5ft @ 9s from 356° (N)
Pauwela
Small WNW energy at the NW and Waimea buoys, but we're blocked for that direction (Pauwela shadow line around 305). As a result, the only energy registered by Pauwela is the windswell and that's what's on tap today. Stay tuned for the beach report, but it's gonna be small, weak but hopefully clean waves.
Wind map at noon shows light easterly winds.
North Pacific shows the low that is starting to aim some winds towards us, but the strongest wave production is modeled to happen in the next days. Related swell should rise on Monday and peak on Tuesday at around 5f 11s from 332 according to Surfline.
South Pacific shows a couple of decent fetches: one in the Tasman Sea and the other SSE of us and aiming east of us, but we should get some angular spreading in a week or so.

Day of rest for me yesterday. I could have sailed the conditions showed in the photo below by Jimmie Hepp from this gallery, but it was too choppy for my taste.
6am significant buoy readings
South shore
W
1.2ft @ 13s from 195° (SSW)
SW
1.2ft @ 13s from 45° (NE) (wrong direction, it's from the south instead)
Slivers of southerly energy at the outer buoys, there should be still something to ride on the south shore, even though I heard yesterday was minimal. Flat to knee high is my guess.
North shore
N
2.8ft @ 10s from 15° (NNE)
Waimea
3.3ft @ 9s from 352° (N)
Pauwela
3.3ft @ 9s from 350° (N)
Enjoy the northerly waves today, because tomorrow they're gonna be much smaller. As reported from the beach (see below this post), earlier this morning Hookipa was shoulder to head high and relatively clean. Kinda.
Wind map at noon shows easterly trades which, as we know, can get quite stronger than the forecast and gusty.
Fortunately after today the low that will create Monday's NW swell will kill the trades for a few days until some strong trades will pick up again in a week. The calm will coincide with the swell everybody is already waiting for which Surfline predicts to peak Tuesday morning at 5.4f 11s from 334.
North Pacific shows the low that, as I pointed out yesterday, is moving slowly to the ENE and will be responsible for the swell above mentioned. It's starting to have a little fetch of wind oriented our way. Not much yet, but it's modeled to get stronger and better aiming at us.
Finally some hope in the South Pacific with a more favorably oriented strong fetch. The map on the right shows a little patch of strong winds oriented directly towards us, but overall we should get plenty angular spreading also from the swell generated by the winds oriented to our east. Make a mental note of next Friday for some action on the south shore. North shore is gonna be totally blown out anyway, as we just said.

Thursday 9 28 17 morning call
Yesterday was almost a carbon copy of the day before for me: SUP foiling, longboard (while teaching a lesson), windfoiling and work. I need some rest.
In the afternoon the windsurfers hit what looked like fun waves at Hookipa. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this gallery. Should be bigger today.
5m significant buoy readings.
The Surfline page where I get the buoys readings is down, I went to the NOAA source and read what I report below, but those readings are the sum of the energy of all the swells hitting the buoys, so they can be deceiving. Once you separate each swell (like Surfline does), the related individual values will be smaller than that. Anyway, that's what's available today, so we'll live with it.
South shore.
Didn't even look, because I knew I wouldn't find any sign of remaining southerly energy. Remembering the fetches, I think there should still be something in the knee high range.
North shore.
NW101
4f 10s NNW
Waimea
2f 11s N
Pauwela
2.6f 11s NNW
The fetches of the previous day (check yesterday's collage) indicate that there should be a bump in the wave size today and the beach report (which today is below the call), indicates just that.
Hookipa was solid head high.
Wind map at noon. Of course, if it will be sunny it will be windier than that. Yesterday it was.
North Pacific has a NNW weak fetch just south of the Aleutians. The low I indicated with an arrow is modeled to move east, get stronger and generate a swell predicted by Surfline to peak at 5f 11s on Tuesday morning.
Only weak winds oriented directly towards us in the South Pacific. A very strong fetch is oriented instead towards central and south America. I drew the amount of angular spreading we will need to benefit of those waves. That's like 90 degrees off the original direction, so it's unlikely to happen, IMO. And even if it does, we might easily be blocked by the Big Island. Next week keeps looking grim on the south shore to me, despite the more optimistic opinion of much more accredited meteorologists like Pat Caldwell.

Wednesday 9 27 17 morning call
Three disciplines is not a bad achievement on a work day.
I started out with SUP foil surfing in some lovely conditions on the south shore shown by the above photo by Jason Hall.
I continued with an unplanned nose riding solo session in Lahaina.
And I ended in full glory with a very planned windfoiling session in North Kihei.
Below is the unedited video of 14 minutes of continuous foiling action. If you got absolutely nothing better to do and no plans for the rest of the day, you can try to watch it all and find the beauty of it. It was pretty easy to do that for me, but I'm the one who was on the other side of the board, so I could easily recollect how majestic the whole experience was.
I had at least 6 more minutes to go when I overfoiled (I was overpowered on a 3.0), came down and decided to quit the filming. That means that in just one reach out and one in, I got to practice the foiling feeling for 40 minutes. The equivalent of, what do you think, a whole month of SUP surfing? Probably more than that, but the point is that if you are a windsurfer and you want to learn how to SUP or surf foil, do yourself a favor and learn how to windfoil first.
The skill you'll learn will not transfer 100%, but it will transfer a good 75%. Enough to completely skip what's been called "the scary phase" of the learning curve. That's my experience, at least.
If I inspire just one of you to give this thing a try, I'd be stoked. Enjoy the view.

Lovely long period energy at the outer buoys. The 45° indication at the SW buoy is obviously wrong, but so are the ones at the other two buoys. We know that this swell comes from the Tasman Sea. That's where the fetch was in the maps of Sept 19 and 20 (the ones on the left and center in the collage below).
I have a lesson at 7.30, but I'll try to hit the water at 6 for a short session before that, so stay tuned for the beach report.
Remember: Tasman Sea swells are very inconsistent by nature.

Wind map at noon shows windfoiling potential both on the north shore and in north Kihei. I have a feeling that the wind will actually be stronger than that. I hope I'm wrong.
North Pacific shows the same very weak NW fetch of yesterday. The wind in it is barely 20 knots, so the waves it will generate will be of a short period that won't grow much more than 8-9 seconds by the time they reach Maui... if they ever make it. We'll see in 3 days. Notice how this fetch is weaker and a little more distant than the one in the collage above, which means the waves will be smaller.
The fetches map on the right shows a wide dark blue area that indicated 20 knots winds oriented towards us. In this case the distance is too much for those little waves to make to our shores, so I haven't even circled that area. 4th day in a row without wave generation from the south.
Morning sky pretty damn clear again.

Monday 9 15 17 morning call
Yesterday was a 10 for me and that was all thanks to the foil.
Well, first I had some business to take care of.
After that, I went SUP foiling. Like my student above, I'm at such a beginner stage that if I manage to catch a wave and ride it on the foil without falling, I'm stoked! And I did that many times yesterday.
Below are some shots of the other fellow foilers.
After that, I figured that the wind was probably too light on the north shore and I had the intuition of going to check the wind in north Kihei. I rigged a 2.8 (underpowered at times) and had an absolute blast. I had one reach from outside Maalaea to the beach in Ohukai, all the way on the magic carpet. I didn't time it, but I think it was like 5 minutes.
At sunset I went to sip a very deserved beer at Hookipa and I admired Cody Kerbox's skills. He was catching small waves and pumping his wait out again still on the foil.
It looked like he had so much fun that I had to ask him how was it.

The NW waves at Hookipa were pretty nice when I did the early morning beach report, but the conditions deteriorated pretty quickly when the wind picked up. I took this photo after my short session.
The first thing I notice when I go to Italy to visit my family is how still (and somehow boring) the sky is. In Maui, the clouds are always moving and here's the perfect little cloud with a few of her friends to express my gratitude and appreciation for another wonderful aspect of Maui's nature.
In the afternoon the windsurfers hit the waves at Hookipa, photo by Jimmie Hepp from this gallery.

The directions at the outer buoys are all over the place, but I never trust them. Those weird westerly readings at the W and SW buoys are, in my opinion, the result of the interaction of the SW energy (correctly indicated by the SE buoy instead), the windswell and the NW energy. I can say that because I analyze the fetches every morning on this blog and I don't remember any west fetch that would generate energy arriving today.
Instead, I do remember a fetch in the Tasman Sea that lasted a few days and below is the collage of the fetches maps of Sept 16, 17 and 18 that show it. That means that there will be a small south swells for a few days. I will post a beach report later.
