Wind Predictions for Kiting in Maui and Best location
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:30 am
Hi All,
My wife and I have moved from Australia to Maui.
I have been researching the best places to kitesurf on maui along with the different rules etc
I would say I am an advanced beginner to basic intermediate kitesurfer that can stay upwind, ride toeside and perform small jumps.
I am going to be living in Kihei but from what I can see the best beach for me would be on the north side. Flash beach or Naish Beach I think it's called.
As I will be living in Kihei I don't want to drive over to check if the conditions are good so I have some questions that hopefully some locals will be willing to help with.
What is the best website for wind predictions (the ones I have been looking at predict 12 knots yet when I am in kahului it is blowing at least 18-20) does anyone know of some more accurate sites? or do you just add 5 knots to whats predicted?
Secondly is Naish Beach one of the better ones to go to for clean wind and less people?
Third are there any beaches on Kihei side that can be used if so what conditions would I be looking for ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
