I just started saving for Maui 2016. What is April like for sailing? I've only gone in Oct before.

For wind and surf, April is usually fantastic, unless I've booked a trip. Then April is a skunk fest. You may want to check to see when/if I've bought tickets and book the time before or after my visit.

It's a lot like October in April. There are palm trees, tourists and sharks.

Actually my most successful trip for wind was an April.

I've only been twice but both times were at the beginning of April and the wind and waves have been good.
I used this post when planning my first trip top get a little insight into the weather.

Randy Kashino has been going to Maui every April since 1999. Think he must have found that time of year it worth the trip.

Forecast looks pretty windy so far, small swell though so this could mean a lot of Ho'okipa/Lanes days and not a lot of Kanaha or crowd-dud-harbour which is fine by me!

have you seen the Euro scourge at H when it's small? All the world wants to claim they have sailed there so the flock is on, it's a snaking, bobbing pylon nightmare

Kanaha may then be the better bet

Good winds, envious

Well maybe Kuau or Sprecks then. Hope this torn blister is better by Thursday!

Have a awesome and safe trip!

Being stuck in Fort McMuck, I will be living vicariously through you logs and will be tuning in to the web cams when ever i get a chance.

Looks at the current conditions

I'm bummed you won't be there this year. It was sweet having someone to shred gnar and Vietnamese sandwiches with every day, but I'm sure you are having just as much fun working

Damnit! Damn you on that link! Bastard!

how fast can you swim? But guaranteed if you see one, your waterstarts will happen faster then you ever imagined possible, that's how I nailed clew first. lol

Nanmoo, you don't have to worry that much, the map shows that some individuals like 13363 don't spend ALL of their time patrolling the breaks on the sailing venues on the north shore - occasionally she goes north to deep water, or the other side of Maui. Not often, but sometimes. I'm sure you'll be there during those times

Oops - don't sail kite beach/lowers for a few days - 13363 may be coming back.

At least she is well fed! To be safe, if you see 13363, don't play dead
