wax'm up...it's show time on da island
gonna be hard to sleep tonight! u can hear the surf crackin. yeeeeeehhhaaaaaaa!
dawn patrol is in true order.
soulsista surfed publics & queens tonight. said it was well over head on the outside sets. she said she caught the wave of the year for her (so far that is), and it twas a couple feet over head going backside on a single fin with pigtails flapping in the breeze. now that's what i'm talking about!! make me proud like a dad er something.:-)
"...SURF:
North & West side:
Primetime Pipeline in June????? A long interval 6'-10' west swell had Pipe and some of the outer reefs popping on King Kamehameha Day. It had all the fixins of mid-December with sunshine, offshore trades, big crowds, photographers, wipeouts, injuries, and lots of heaving barrels. Not only was the quality and size of the swell rare for this time year, but the acute westerly direction (300-310 degrees) made this one an extremely unusual episode. A macking SSW is due later this week.
South side:
3-5 ft. - waist to head high with occasional 6 ft. and good conditions.
A mix of both fading and building SSW(185-200) swells provide surf in the 3-4/5’ range on the face at the better exposed breaks. Standouts are slightly overhead.
Outlook through Monday Jun 19. The new south swell is expected to produce surf above the high surf advisory level of 8 feet for the south shore on Wednesday. The surf will decrease only slowly, probably below advisory level late Thursday, but then rise again to advisory level early Saturday.
Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height in the zone of maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height..."
cough cough....i think some of those favors @ work this week might get cashed in as a sick day.
stoked!
