Hawaii Windsurf & Kitesurf Report

January 17-18, 2021

Synopsis: The weather map above shows high pressure systems far west and northeast. At the same time we see several storm and gale low pressure systems north and northwest, moving from west to east. The northern most storm has the tail-end of a dissipating cold front/trough in the vicinity of Kauai. There’s a couple of more serious looking cold fronts approaching from the northwest.
North and East Shores: Light from the south to southwest
South and West shores: Light from the south to southwest
Further ahead: The winds will falter again, ahead of another cold front into the new week…becoming south to southwest. These kona winds will be followed by blustery north winds, with the trade winds later in the new week,
