7/19
TUESDAY...rising waves along southern shores are looking to be more reality than myth. all buoys are showing some energy in the long period bands which is generally typical of ground swell. an eye witness that i spoke with this evening claimed there were waves to be had at the head. WWlll models are showing an increase out of 190-200deg during the day tomorrow that should top out in the 3ft range at most surf spots in town. with waveheights modeled to be near 3ft at the south buoy local surf heights will be arrive slightly smaller, however, due to refraction, especially with the forerunners of the swell, waves should be head high by morning and remain so all day. winds will be gusty trades.
it should also be noted that an intersting swarm of earthquakes has struck off the north coast of the big island...one measuring 5.2 on the richtor scale. this area of quakes has a depth of near 7-11mi and has the look of a possible swarm.
