FRIDAY...small surf once again in paradise as virtually no ground swell exists and trade winds are not strong enough locally to provide much relief. the synopsis for now is that the remanants of fernanda will pass to the south with the only concearn being some rain for the big island. there will be no real swell associated with fernanda as the waves travelled far ahead of the storm and would have already come and gone by now. look for surf in the 1-occ 2ft range on southern shores and weak 1-2ft surf along eastern shores. winds will be typical trades.
11 days left until september 1st.
SHORT TERM FORECAST
no real surf from tropical storm fernanda for hawaii, but models are showing some much larger more poweful tropical systems forming off of southern mexico. conditions in the east pacific are quicky turning optimum for tropical activity. much further to the north in the pacific there are some small to tiny surf potentials that may or may not send some head high waves to the north shore later this weekend or more likely next week. downunder there is plenty of activity brewing with strong storm systems forming with fetches more favorable to hawaii later next week. looking closer to now there may be a new swell arriving over the next few days form a system last week that will give southern shore a little bump to the shoulder high range and dare i say head high set at the most chosen of locations.
