6/8
WEDNESDAY...surf along the south shore will has bottomed out on 6/7 and will then increase during the afternoon of 6/8. a south-southeast swell that arrived tuesday shoud wil continue surf in the 2ft range and then by the late afternoon we should see long period foreunners of a new south swell generated east of new zealand over a week ago. by sundown surf may reach solid 3ft on the sets and possibly even some bombs if large rouge waves were generated that were able to speed ahead of the pack...more likely they will arrive on thursday, so for now with luck we'll see some head high sets. the north shore saw a bump this afternoon with sets near 3ft and that should continue into tomorrow and then drop by the afternoon. winds will crank.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
the south swell arriving thursday should be for real meaning that 5ft sets are likely and even some larger sets may be found. the system responsible for the swell originated off the east coast of new zealand a move north-northeastward in the direction of hawaii. at its closest approach it was around 3600nm away which is generally closer than normal for most southerly juice. the storm also stayed stationary for a goog 2 days which is even better in that this will guarentee a long lived swell and additional energy in wave power. lastly, there was little in the way of island blockage so the swell travelled mostly unobstructed. with buoy 28 showing a significant increase in swell energy over the day wednesday it will be a good bet that friday should be one of the better days for the south shore this season.
