Is it me reading the Windguru wind stats wrong or it has been a bad couple weeks at Kitebeach in Maui?

This winter has sucked... I haven't been in the water in weeks but then I only get a couple days off a week. Not sure if the Konas were strong enough for Kihei...

I am currently here...Kona winds were good on Sat for Kihea, Sunday not so sure as I wasn't able to get out. Yesterday was the first day of no wind.
Even though the Windguru graph showed crap winds all week, there has been some decent kiting. I would ignore the graph as anything can happen from day to day as long as you have a good quiver of kites.

newbie here, but looks like you can add 3-5 knts to the wguru history at least recently.
may 1: rode 6m in 20+ knts (15 avg listed on wguru)
may 2: 6m 15+ knts (12 avg wg)
may 3: 9m in 12-15 knts (10 - 7 avg wg)
looks like may '09 trades were late arriving, hope not again this year.
plenty of other activities and sights here, so all good!
missed the Kona winds. Dafish, where is best to launch in Kihei (Maalaea)? mudflats?
