12/6
TUESDAY...surf to drop quickly for tomorrow although the term drop is refering to the surf becoming more manageable. the large northwest swell that came crashing ashore today producing surf in the 10-12ft range with pulses nearing the 15ft mark started pinging buoy 1 last night and by 10pm power readings went up 4X. power readings remained near the 45 mark for most of the morning which tranlated into the rapid rise in surf today. becuase the storm was relatively close to the islands and the storm's duration of swell production was less than 14hrs it can be assumed that the swell should drop fairly quickly tomorrow as the day wears on. look for surf to be in the 6-8ft range in the morning and drop into the 4-6ft range by late in the day. conditions should clean up as there will be light trades combine with the latter part of the swell which generally exhibits better organization.
