angry ocean...again
THURSDAY...another round of large surf on the horizon as the next mammoth swell moves into our vicinity. a large storm system now moving across the pacific is nearing the dateline. a strong batch of 40+mph winds associated with the system are in a good swell window for hawaii. over the next 24hrs this storm will rapidly race east-southeast coming to within 400nm of hawaii, all the while acting on previously agitated seas. with wind speeds of near 40mph this will put a limiting factor on an otherwise ideal situation for giant surf. thursday will start off with surf near 8ft and slowly on the decline however, as the afternoon moves into the picture foreunners of the new swell should start to arrive. look for a significant boost in the surf near sundown with sets pushing near 10ft at select reefs. hazardous conditions are a reality as this swell should arrive with little loss of power and it will be mixed with leftover swell from earlier in the day. winds are looking good as they will be calm for at least the morning
