Lordy, lordy, let it be...

From this morning’s surf report for the south shore of Oahu:

A large south swell is expected to begin arriving late Tuesday, and continue through Saturday. It will peak Wednesday and Thursday with surf heights well above the advisory level of 8 feet, possibly approaching warning levels of 15 feet.

lt’s been two years, I think, since town saw something like this. 'Course, they seem to frequently overestimate the size of an approaching swell. Now, if the tradewinds will back off just a bit…!

Howzit Honolulu, Supposed to be a moderate NW swell peaking tues night on Oahu. It’s already building on Kauai and should hit Oahu later today. Should cut down the crowd a little since the North shore guys won’t need to go south for waves.Aloha,Kokua

Looks like we’ll get a little taste of that swell as well.

Surfline and Wetsand both forecast 5’-8’ with occasional 10’ by Friday. Swell direction of 190- 200 degrees which should cover Malibu to The Ranch nicely. (Sorry Santa Barbara you’re probably blocked by the Channel Islands.) Orange & San Diego counties, you know you’ll get it.

Oh yeah, stay away from Baja. I heard it’ll be totally flat and shark infested with urchin throwing locals protecting their abalone farms. Hee hee hee… :wink:

Sorry SrPato, Orange County, except for Huntington and Newport will be flat with extreme Eddy conditions starting early and growing stronger throughout the predicted swell period. This will turn the entire area into a “washing machine” unsuitable for surfing.

so I’m going to Pickle Weed Point…

Report can say what it will, but this morning I look out over the coast and…

IT’S FLAT. STILL.

oh well, another surf check at lunchtime.

Howzit Honolulu, Look in the opposite direction, the north shore is over 6 foot here this morning.Aloha,Kokua

looks like it is coming up a bit at about 4:15 here on the Hawaii Kai side… noth shore was great fun today, finally got to ride my 6’8" balsa sando in some juice… surf Leftovers, a bit windy but only 7 guys and plenty of solid waves, (sets closing out to alligators) board worked great! first wave late dropped into a +6 set, board felt so smooth even with the chop in the face… well back to work, got to make some $ to replace the windsurf gear i am going to trash if it really gets big this week :slight_smile:

Howzit jjp, Leftovers, used to have a friend who lived in the last house on the turn off road in front of there. Not the juciest spot and lots of vanna there,  but a fun little wave. My fav spots were Log Cabins,Pipe, Rocky point Laniakea and Puena Point.Lets hope for a good winter.Aloha,Kokua
