flatness
nothing much to report for the last thursday of june as the waves will once again be small and gutless. windswell may be an option or else go battle it out with regs at the town spots. myself i think i'll work and save the surf for another day. one thing is for sure though that there's waves somewhere...just not here. if you hear this "hey...fackaah!" (correct spelling) as your paddling at your newfound town spot, its time to get out of the water.

the horror...the horror
6/29
WEDNESDAY...let the flatness begin. nothing is store, nothing on the books and nothing in foreseable future. small waves island wide with tomorrow being no exception. almost all my surf related sites are refusing me infoemation which is just as well because i won't witness the horror firsthand. small waves on the menu. windy conditions. the horror...the horror.

so long...and thanks for all the waves
6/28
TUESADAY...not much to report for the surf tomorrow. the leftovers of the late season north swell should be gone and replaced by a small pulse from the same region. waves won't get more than 2ft at most so don't get too excited. so far there's been no indication of any real waves from this swell. southern shores will show its last gasp over the next two days and drop to next to nil. windward shores may have some slop for some body whomping. all in all the day looks to be nothing short of ordinary small summer surf. die hards take heed as your cue is up and you should be on deck. those of you that get stoked to surf crowded small bowls because you actually do get waves on days like these...this time is for you. the rest of us will have to wait until some waves actually come.

SUNDAY...continued surf along southern shores for he day. south swell will slowly be on the decline and drop into the 3ft max range for most spots. with the low tide in the morning and the swell on the way out the best time to hit it will most likely be in the morning. winds will be howling tomorrow just like they were today.

bum deal
6/25
SATURDAY...the truth is out there and all that really needs to be done is look around. this swell seems to be more registering much more energy at buoy 4 than at buoy 2. in fact as of this writing buoy 4 is registerning 6X more energy that buoy 2. this may mean that the cold truth is that the swell, at least at the moment, is passing to the east. the waveheights that i saw in town today were much lower than anticipated although the frequency was pretty much what you'd expect. with the tide being so high that only adds to mushy fat waves that appear smaller than they should be. the call for tomorrow is for a small increase with better conditions during the lower tides. sorry, but my gut feeling is that this swell will not pan out as anticipated. hopefully i am wrong. look for waves in the 2-4ft range at best with occasional larger sets at the standout spots. winds around as usual.

aloha friday
6/24
FRIDAY...waves are on the way as indicated by buoy 28 and buoy 2. surf should begin to rise noticably in the late afternoon with sets building rapidly in the after 3pm. models are showing me that the bulk of the swell will jump after 3pm and continue to do so overnight. by sundown there may be reports of 5ft sets at select spots. this swell looks to be a bit larger than the last one and it may stick around foe a bit longer. WWlll models are predicting open ocean swell heights of 1.4m. this will translate into 4.3ft swell locally and given the wave refraction factor some spots will have sets well over 5ft late friday and into saturday. winds will be blowing for the day in the 10-20mph range so some spots may be worse than others.
6/23
THURSDAY...there should be some waves for those on the DP as a new small south swell fills in a little more overnight. this swell should peak sometime tomorrow on the 3ft range and slowly drop into friday. this will most likely go unoticed as a new larger south swell starts to feel the reefs tomorrow afternoon. the new groundswell should be overhead by the afternoon and continue to build overnight, but that's a story for tomorrows forecast. for now the call is for head high surf from two directiond with windy trades all day. surf should be plentiful so get it while you can.
ooking ahead in the forecast over the few days there may be some waves on the menu.
summary...small out of season west-nortwest swell. multiple south swells with one being large. trades to crank for the next 5 days.
details...the north pacific is sending us a gift for the weekend. a moderate compact storm is currently brewing about 2200nm WNW of hawaii. the storm will strengthen over the next 12-18hrs and wind will reach speeds of over 40mph. the fetch of the system is roughly 600nm which for most north pacific wavemaker is pretty small, but the winds will be able to whip th seas up to near 20ft. as the system moves into late wednesday the system will fall apart and weaken. before it does it will approach to within 1900nm of hawaii which is better than 2200nm. waves are due to arrive on friday out 310deg +/- 10deg with initial wave periods of 15sec. the main swath will arrive in the 12-14sec band which will play a moderate factor when it comes to wave refraction. the swell should peak late friday and drop saturday.
southern shores are receiving energy from different sources originating due south of hawaii. the 180deg window for hawaii is a good one as there are not nearly as many islands blocking the swell plus tahiti can give a glimps of waht's to come. currently tahiti just reseived a swell that peaked at over 10ft on the local waveheight scale. this is good news as by the time it reaches here nearly 60% of the energy will have dissapated. the math in this case is easy 10ft there will equal 4ft here give or take a foot. the system responsible for the swell was a large winter storm that moved slowly between 170-140deg and around 40-30deg south. this translates to about 3200nm out from hawaii and very close tahiti. with a more northerly location than most storm in the south pacific this, as mentioned ealier, is good news for hawaii. closer means less wave decay. expect this swell to start filling in late thursday night and affecting local shores by friday morning. friday may see sets approaching the 5ft local style with the swell remaining at advisary levels for most of saturday and dropping into sunday. the swell was generated over a 3 day period so it is likely to hang around at least that long.

hump day....new forecast
6/22
WEDNESDAY...a new south swell arriving from 180deg will begin to affect buoy 2 by 1am this morning. the long period swells will take rougly 4-6hrs to reach oahu so by 8am they should start arriving locally. however, because the inital swells have low waveheights and with long lulls don't expect much for surf until the afternoon and even then with the ultra high tides most spots will be crap. so the call for tomorrow will be left over 2-3ft surf from the last swell and then a slow increase out of the south during the day. the swell will have peaked overnight wednesday night so thursday morning may be good with the tides. if you find head high waves tomorow consider yourself blessed. of note though is that there is a new swell that will put to shame the 3ft swell arriving tomorrow so get in some practice.
looking ahead in the forecast over the few days there may be some waves on the menu.

monday
MONDAY...southern juice arrived overnight and peaked early this morning with 5ft sets at many south shore spots...at least that's from reports i've gottten as i surfed elsewhere that had sets pushing the 6ft catagory early in the day. nevertheless a good solid bump for the south shores. bouys and platforms are telling me that there will still be plenty of waves left around for tomorrow. expect surf in the 2-4ft range and on the decline all day. winds will be around although they may be light in the morning.
surfed 3 times in the last two days. once late yesturday afternoon and then twice today. as the south shore proper leaves me with goiders and stresslines from all the people and combine that with infrequent sets and on the weekend and finally throw in the fact that everybody has to ride a fucking couch in order to catch waves. i opted for another shore on a whim. thankfully i was rewarded with waves larger than expected, frequent poundings and dragings and even some big drops and long rides. most awsome of all was that there was a minimal crowd...thank god!!! i feel very fortunate for this as i generally get frustrasted with south shore charging and have chosen refuge as a bodysurfer at point panics. i'd call the waves 3-5ft with larger sets peeling left for over 100yrds. consistentcy was high and conditions smooth and glassy. even in those conditions though nothing short of a 7.0 will get you in those waves on a regular basis. lots of paddling and duckdiving, but at least i was on the go and not sitting in one place. at one point i even noticed that i was hot.

sunday
6/19
SUNDAY...mixed opinions on what the surf is doing. swell seemed to pulse late this afternoon on cue and then the large sets stopped. as with most south swells they are subject to long lulls. both buoy 2 and the kewalo wave platform spiked around 2pm and the cuase was evident at some of the surf spots. reports i use for forecasting are saying that the swell may peak in the wee hours of the morning and then drop throughout the day. with buoy 28 showing consistent energy the last few days i'm seeing the ocean remaining active for the next two days. tomorrow may not be any bigger or more consistent, but there will still be waves...most likely a carbon copy of today.

windmilling
6/17
SATURDAY...surf should hover in the 2-3ft range with larger sets starting in the afternoon. as buoy 2 is forecasted to receive the new swell around 2-4am this morning and allowing for the 6hr travel time i'd bet that the afternoon may show an increase in swell heights. for those willing to gamble this may pay off as most weekend hardcores usually aren't the type to do multiple sessions and are generally surfed out by the mid-afternoon as they will surly follow suite and go have lunch at the appropriate time and then call it a surf day by 1pm. i'm guessing that by 2pm a new swell will sneak in people on the go in the afternoon may be pleasantly surfprised, but don't hold me to this as i have more than oce skunked myself and my friends and made the shitlist for the day.
am quickly becoming a bodysurfer for the summer. great excersise and so stoked when a pack of goons come thundering down the walkway waving fingers and pointing every which way and knowing that they are not invited to your party. drawback is that the place doesn't really fire that consistently, but you can't have everything or else where would you put it. anyway 3ft and low tide with maybe 6 heads...a few hard strokes and kicks and you're flying down the line thinking you're at backdoor. crowd policies amongst the barebacks is amazingly friendly and courteous which as the mastercard commercial says is "priceless". got pounded again and this time it cost me a fin...which i neva did find after combing the rocks for nearly 40min. going to push the envolope and try a dawn patrol figure there maybe a chance of solitude which with my current appatite is desperately needed. must have more waves...that's all i have to say. surfwise i'm thinking a bit bigger tomorrow with little expectations for wave counts as there will be many other wave assasins on the quest. i see flying boards, windmilling and reckless abandon bailouts on the menu at many breaks. i feel for everybody. good luck.

friday
FRIDAY...sketchy call for tomorrow as buoys are showing energy, but reports are mixed with what's been happening at the surf breaks. yesturday a pulse slipped in with few in the know. i was lucky enough to catch panics firing for about an hour and then back to normal with long lulls...nobody saw that one coming!!! with the above information the call is for a bump up from today with head high sets being the norm and even few overhead sets here and there. buoys only give us the big picture so some luck on your side won't hurt as there is about as much southern energy running around the local waters as it gets so expect on again off again conditions.
latest update...buoy 28 is showing promise as waveheights ans energy have just shot up. this will spell good news for saturday.

wednesday
TUESDAY...surf will begin a slow and gradual rise that will last for more than a week of good overhead south swell. tomorrow will see waves in the 2-3ft range with consistent sets on the upswing as we go into wednesday. northern shores will be flat for the next two months so forget it exists as the machine has turned off. winds will be lighter trades than have been, but there will still be texture on the waves.
been on the prowl and started crunching the numbers. buoy 28 has been firing all night at 9 on the power scale. still have yet to understand exactly what they're measuring. last swell hit 14 for around 6hrs max, but hovered around 8 for a day or so. the waveheights have also increased and remainded elvated for most of the night. given the two days travel time the swell should really fill in tomorrw with good surf in the 2-4ft range with larger sets and surf should stick around at those heights for at least a day...so far...as opposed to the swell just peaking and quickly dropping off. plenty of swell coming in for the next five days

power hitters
6/13
MONDAY...surf will drop a touch further and leave us hanging in the 1-3ft range at best with very typical summer time conditions complete with gusty trades and small surf at the usual spots. so it will be back to normal south shore charging at the consistent breaks like bowls and kaisers and of course the head. so if you're the type that gets waves on these days than all the power to ya. for the rest of us that means putting away the sticks for another day in hopes of not grovelling with the power hitters of the 1-3ft south shore. hope is on the horizon as there may be some inkling to a new south-southeast episode that may hang out for the next few days pushing the surf back to the head high range

sunday
SUNDAY...surf will be on a downward trend during the day and drop to the 2-3ft range at select spots. the bouys are still showing some energy, but both power and wavehights are dropping. the call is for some left over sets just overhead that will be far and few between. as the day wears on and crowds pack the lineups advanced surfers will which there was something else going on. get a surf around 10am and hope for the best. winds will be around as they have for nearly three weeks now. kiteboarding will be a good call. dispair is not at the doorstep however as more waves are on the way so stay stoked.
TAHITI SURF FORECAST WAVE CHART
UPDATED 6/11
SUMMARY...plent of surf for the tahitians as a powerful storm pushing the pressure down to 984mb sets up 1200nm east of new zealand sets up over sunday into monday. the system looks to stay stationary and produce seas near 30ft on the open ocean scale. with the head of the fetch 1200-1500nm away from tahiti very little decay will occure and tahiti can expect another roundof surf near the 12-15ft range starting on tuesday. closer to present a new south-southwest swell should be filling in as of this writng and greating morning surfers on sunday with 15ft surf maxing the outer reefs. winds however will also be there as well and continue to be a hinderance for most of the week. this will inevitablely be good news for the foraging surfers back here in hawaii as these swells will eventually make it here some 3-4days later. tow teams on guard for the week.

friday swell
SATURDAY...good news for the weekend warriors as the new south swell that came in full force friday will stick around for saturday in the 2-4 foot range with larger sets in the morning. the buoys are all showing strong swell from the south so there's no reason to believe that tomorrow will be flat. along with the good waves will come even better crowds along the south shore as the those who missed out today will be frothing at the mouth with grinding teeth by the time they hear the stories from those that surfed today over beers at the mai tai bar. tomorrow my advise is to sleep in and get out there during lunch as the sun will be blazing and most of the "warriors" will have noodeled arms and clambered home for a nap.
surfed zeros which is basically a cloud break i've been eyeballing for years. needs to be solid and as it turns out today it was. paddled out there and had a brutal time lining up and finally figured it out and dropped a few. this went on for about an hour and then the swell really turned and and closed out most of the inside normal breaks and dropped a few bombs on my ass. took a few and got swished and swashed which was a welcome change for the south shore. i'd call the sets a soid 5ft and top to bottom and with the wind it was tough to drop in with vision. later went to panics and was going to body surf, but there was a raft of heads bopping up and down. pretty nice on the sets though except there was just too many heads. got a couple of piccies i'll post when i figure out how to.

real swell
THURSDAY...surf will arrive on southern shores overnight and great dawn patrollers with 2-3ft and building surf. buoy 28 has under constant survailance and has yeilded the goods. wave heights and energy has increased significantly in the 14-17sec bands out of 205-210deg which is the direction that the swell is coming in. buoy 2 is not really picking much up yet, but should start pinging in the next few hours. a high surf advisory has also been issued starting at high noon tomorrow so the call is for solid 4ft by night fall and possible one of those magical late afternoon sessions with legitimate swell that few will believe because it somehow dropped by friday. anyway the your move...the goods will be there.
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.

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.

6/6
MONDAY...current swell on southern shores on the way down slowly over the next few days. tomorrow will see a small decline of the south-southwest swell that arrived over the weekend. this swell was the product of a massive storm out of the tasman sea over a week ago. due to the long fetch and duration of the storm expect the swell to hang aroud for the next few days. surf locally will be 2-3ft at best with typical windy conditions for the summer.
major storm activity on both sides of tahiti. the first swell wil arrive on tuesday with sets in the 10ft plus range from a system that's been spinning just of the coast of northeastern new zealand. later in the week another storm will form in roughly the same area and seas will reach similar heights as thie previous one sendind another round of large surf. as this system unfolds it looks to spin off a sister storm that will move in behind it and gain strength as it moves north-northeast in the direction of tahiti approching to within 800nm sunday into monday. of interest too is that a powerful fetch will set up southeast of tahiti that will produce a 4-6ft swell arriving near wednesday. in a nutshell tahiti is about to enter at least of week long heavy wave action. look for tow teams to possibly arrive later in the week for the swell arriving next tuesday.

sunday
SUNDAY...increases in energy from reliable sources like the national weather buoys have given me new hope that the swell that originated in the tasman sea and pounded fuji might yet send us the in hawaii some swell. today waves were in the 2-3ft range with larger sets at select spots. the trend is for the the surf to bump up a notch further with sets a bit bigger and 3ft surf more consistent. the equatorial buoy is showing significant swell coming out 210deg which is the most likely the long lived episode from the tasman sea. the swell has been difficult to track due to the many islands it had to negotiate and the long distance travelled. the end result is that the swell has taken its time to fill in and arrived a little later than expected. tomorrow should be the peak day so get it while you can. winds moderate trades.
went west today after that juicy shot that bud posted. actually went to do panics first, but when i arrived and found the lineup empty i was both shocked and excited especially when a beatiful wave peeled with nobody on it. then i saw the tents...record scratch hand board contest. well then it was off to the west side and got out to yokes and scored shit...actually ended up bodysurfing it. onshore and mushy and i wouldn't recommend body surfing that wave as when you go over you get bounced around the reef rocks. finally ended up paddling out at minefields. funny thing because i always saw it and never really thought it was ridable and after paddling out there i'm pretty convinced that is still true. the outside sets just dredge and tons of heads reveal themselves so if you aren't on your game you may pay. tomorrow should still be on the way up as more energy is seen on the buoys so the i'm guessing that the surf should be around for a while.

saturday
SATURDAY...surf will being on a slow and steady upstream for the next two days. expect waves to be 2ft solid and 3ft on the sets for the morning. waves will build slowly all day with solid 3 foot surf in the afternoon with occasional larger sets. this is the the swell that made epic waves for the ASP pro surfing contest down in fiji last week. waves shoulld increase in consistentsy as the swell periods decrease. buoy 28 and 2 showed increases in energy during the day and it is reasonable that think that surf will build out 210-220deg. wind will be slightly stroger than they were yesturday.

6/3
FRIDAY...a bump along southern shores from a powerful south-southwest swell that pounded fiji is finally arriving. my initial thoughts were that this strom was stron enough to make the journey. however, although i put up a fight saying that some energy should make it, my thoughts are now that nothing much over 3ft will hit. the archipeligoes of fiji and new caldonia greatly reduced this swell due to shadoqing effects. some odd 4ft sets may be possible so keep some faith. a much larger swell will make up for this one on or around the 9th. winds are the usual.

6/2
THURSDAY...more of the same for the day. solid 2ft surf typical of summer along southern shore and flat to 1ft along nothern shores. winds will be trades. looking ahead into friday so far nothing is registering on the equatorial buoy for the next pulse from the south-southwest. i expect that over the next few hours that will change and significant energy will start to show...keep the fingers crossed.
a new south swell is currently in the works and looking ahead at the models this one appears to be following the ideal path for south shore wave production with minimal islands blockage as with this last fiji swell...stay tuned as i will be on it.

TUESDAY...surf will remain small ridable for all shores. northern shores will taper out as the latest northwest swell finishes a late season swell to end up in the 1 to barely 2ft range by nightfall. southern shores will hang in there with solid 2ft surf from the deep south pacific and continue to do so for the rest of the week. the 1st of june will see the last of weak trades for the next few days as a new high pressure cell make it pressence known northeast of the islands. winds will gradually strengthen over the next few days.
