We asked SUP Champion John Holzhall for his wind and wave prediction.
Q. What are the conditions gonna be?
A. Looks like it will be windy through Friday, then A "Passing low" will bring waves. The swell should peak this weekend!
Q. So KITE for the 1st part of the event and SURF for the 2nd?
A. Yes, think about kiting through Friday and Surfing this weekend.
Q. How do you know?
A. I check the Navy Wave Model and make my estimation from there based on how fast the storm is moving. It is snowing in New York now and that storm will be bringing us waves.
Q. How do you know which way they will go?
A. Winter Storms in the Northern Hemisphere move from East to West...so if it is raining in Maui, an experienced surf should be able to tell you when the Rockies will get snow, the Southern US rain and the DR waves.
