9/14
WEDNESDAY...tomorrow will likely go down in the books as one of the larger swells to ever hit the south shore in a long time. the swell has displayed many unusual characteristics not found in south swells. first off it made it to hawaii before it was forecasted which translates into power and faster than normal swell travel speeds. second it registered with much large than usual waveheights and power readings. this means that for once the swell will be larger and more consistent than most southerly swells. that being said look for south facing shores to build to the 4-6ft range with possible 8ft sets at spots that really want it. surf will tickle many outer reefs that are generally dormant for most of the year. waikiki will show off tomorrow with a display of waves that made it famous. waves will be plentiful and powerful and many people will talk of this one for years to come. good luck and surf like there's no tomorrow. keep an eye out for broken longboards washing up in waikiki.
