7/21
THURSDAY...surf will drop slightly for the start of the day, but another south swell will be right on the heels of the present one. an identical swell to today should fill in as a replacement for tomorrow thursday. wavewatch3 (WWlll) models are showing indentical wavehights at the southern buoys as was on wednesday. the storm associated with this system formed immediately after the one that generated monday and tuesday's swell so the the call is for it to fill in on thursday respectively. the buoys aren't showing much...yet, but what i've noticed is that south swell don't really register strongly on the southern buoys so if anything even is registering in the long period energy bands that's usually call for celebration. disregard above remark on reference to the equatorial buoy because swells generally do show significant energy readings. in any case look for decent surf in the head high range with good low tide conditions for the morning with the new swell filling in and mushing later in the day. trades will be there to greet.
went to point panic early this morning and found good conditions and a very low tide. waves were 2-3ft and fairly consistent. went out and caught a bomb on my way out. the wave was so good that i only stayed out another half an hour because i knew that was going to be the one. some poor girl was told to go in straight on the rocks and was found bear hugging the rocks with waves bashing her. i was amazed by her good spirits by an otherwise uneccessary situation. went to makapu'u and bodysurfed the outside peak again. not breaking as good and can't wait for it to fire as it is a great work out and peaceful by yourself. been amazed at the visiblility of the water over there even though it's rough the water is crystal clear.
