Hawaii Windsurf & Kitesurf Report

March 6-7, 2026
Synopsis: Fresh to locally strong east-southeast winds will continue Friday, as high pressure remains centered far northeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Therefore, a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) remains in effect through Friday evening for the typically windy channels and waters of Maui County and the Big Island. This general wind pattern is likely to hold through the weekend.
North and East Shores: East-southeast
South and West shores: East-southeast
Looking Further Ahead: A large low pressure system approaching from the west this weekend, will stall northwest of the islands beginning early
next week. Winds will veer more southerly in response to the low’s cold front making a close approach, or even entering the northwest offshore waters, by mid-week. Locally strong southerly winds will be possible, depending on how close the cold front gets to the islands.
