Hey guys,
We are closing the shop and heading to kauai from the 2nd to the 17th. I would like to meet up with any swaylockers out there. Will there be any swell while we are there? Thanks

Howzit Austin, Looking forward to meeting you and your dad, as for surf it’s been one of the most consistant years for south side waves in a while so I’m sure there will be waves somewhere’s.Aloha,Kokua

hey mike,
Yea we are looking forward to checking out the shop and talking story. Good luck with your surgery. I will call you a few days into our trip to meet up. Take care,
Austin S.
Howzit Austin, I just shot a gloss on the last board about 30 mins ago and I'll rub it out tomorrow then closing shop for a few weeks til the Doc ok's me to get back to work. You and your dad will probably blow your minds when you see my little shop of horrors since it hasn't been cleaned for a while but that will be part of my rehab since I'll have the down time. Aloha,Kokua
15 days there will be plenty time for swells to coagulate on our shores.
the current swell action,in our summer doldrums, is trade wind swells and dribblers from the south…
Im always here phone me up on your arrival I will gladly help with speculative
guesses about where o’ where is da surph…
there are a phew sways here in the neighborhood on the stop-by schedule as well as other passing luminaries.
If the oppertunity allows in our schedules ,WE SURF?

Howzit!?! Better here than Va-Beach this time of year, but not by much! Always enlightening experiences with Ambrose, and fun too. Aloha…RH
hey rick,
We have actually had some decent size surf these past weeks. I am hoping for some head high surf sometime in the 15 day period.

hey guys,
on a side note does anyone know delta’s most recent surfboard fees? Do they charge per board or per board bag?
Thanks,
Austin
per bag. And if you are a medallion flyer you can call the medalliion desk and beg for a pass on your bag outbound. Never could get it to work home bound. Plan on 80 each bag. Ouch.

Austin – Read into the South Pacific section of Storm Surf. This guy is one of the best at reading data and forecasting
http://www.stormsurf.com/page2/forecast/forecast/current.shtml
[=1][ 3]S[/]outh Pacific[/]
Overview
On Sunday (7/31) the jetstream charts still indicated a complete split jet in affect with the northern branch containing all the energy with winds 130 kts tracking zonally due east positioned south of Tahiti tracking into Chile. A mild trough (or dip in the jet) was present northeast of New Zealand, but was un remarkable. The southern branch remained sweeping east across the Antarctic Continent with a tiny trough approaching Chile. There was no support for surface level storm production (animation here). Over the next 72 hours things are to start changing some with the southern branch getting marginally more active. The trough off Chile amplifying but moving well out of the US swell window. A second weaker trough is to set up under New Zealand. Neither looks to have much support for storm development though with all the real winds still isolated in the northern branch of the jet. The trough off New Zealand is to sink southeast and fade through Wednesday (8/3).
At the surface moderate high pressure persisted east of New Zealand at 1028 mbs, ridging south to almost the Ross Ice Shelf and hampering storm development there. A 956 mb low was present in the far Southeastern Pacific well southwest of Chile, but only 30 kt winds were associated with it. No swell generation potential there. Otherwise calm conditions prevailed (animation here). Over the next 72 hours continued unsettled weather is to persist off Chile outside the US swell window, but even at that little hope for any real swell generation is suggested. A small cutoff low is still forecast developing south of Tahiti on Tuesday (8/2), but it is to be very weak. The big controlling weather systems are to be high pressure, one in the Tasman Sea at 1028 mbs and the ever-present high east of new Zealand continuing, building to 1032 mbs.
