Summer: In summer the trade wind weather predominates. Trades blow from the NE to ENE direction and provide the comfortable climate and wind powered activities that we enjoy here in the islands. In summer 9 out of 10 days have trade winds. Trades usually bring fair weather to the central valley and south side of the island. But trades do bring regular showers to the windward sides of all the islands and on Maui especially toward Hana, Haiku and upcountry. We do have the rainforests and waterfalls to prove it. Showers are especially frequent in overnight and in the mornings. There may be spells of lighter winds but Hawaii has a high number of windy days.

Summer Surf: In Summer the waves are smaller on the north shore, and most of the surfing is done on the south side. there are often nice southerly swells coming from the southern oceans, near Tahiti or New Zealand. Summer swell are usually mellow compared to winter. Summer swell is great for longboarding, but there are several shortboarding waves if you know where to look. Summer is often the preferred time to visit Maui for windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts because of the frequency and strength of the trade winds.

Winter: Winter Winds are less predictable, and we occasionally get Southerly winds that are called Kona Winds. Kona comes from the Polynesian word for leeward. Kona winds blow from the opposite direction from the prevailing NE tradewinds. Kona winds can get extremely strong on the north shore due to the venturi effect of the wind being funneled through the valley.

Surfing in Kona Winds?: In Kona winds huge plumes of spray to peel of the crest of waves. Some expert windsurfers may venture out at Ho’okipa an Lanes, but there is a real possibility of getting blow out to sea. The strength of the Kona offshore winds may be masked close to shore because of wind shadow of the land and trees at the shoreline. So you should never attempt to surf the north shore during a strong Kona.

Accommodation

Maui accommodation ranks amongst the most glamorous in the world. There are lots of luxury resorts alongside lovely beaches as well as condominim apartments and villa golf complexes. However, there are only a handful of inns and guesthouses for those looking for a more down to earth holiday. Maui has some of Hawaii’s best snorkelling, excellent sightseeing attractions and is the best place in the northern hemisphere to spot humpback whales.

Barbados situated just east of the Caribbean Sea

Barbados is known for its steady sideshore trade wind, which mostly stays within a range of 12 to 20 knots. The extremely constant winds make the spot ideal for beginners, too.

Kitesurfing lessons mostly take place on Silver Rock Beach, which is directly adjacent to Silver Sands. Here, we find perfect conditions on the 350-m-long sandy beach.

The Barbados spot can be classified as an excellent all-round venue. For those who do not kitesurf or windsurf there are plenty of enjoyable alternative activities on offer here.
