big friday
FRIDAY...a new swell will come roaring ashore by early morning friday prducing surf in the 15-18ft range with larger sets. a large storm with a relatively close proximity to hawaii has generated a swell due to arrive by daybreak tomorrow. the swell is already under buoy 1 as indicated by the rapid rise in surf heights and the massive jump in power readings. swells this large travel faster than do the usual smaller swells so it's a safe bet that surf will rapidly build overnight and greet the dawn patrolers with massive out of control conditions leaving the outer reefs and waimea as the the only ridable spots. tough call on the conditions as even though winds will be calm they may go northerly. also the swell may be mixed up due to the close source of generation. the call is for 15ft by morning building to near 20ft on the sets with marginal conditions.
