northeast swells
TUESDAY...surf will be windy and choppy as the winds will howl out of the east-southeast. ironically an upstream wind source pointing in out direction over the last few days is providing us with ample amounts of northeast to east swell for the next few days. swells will fluctuate in size and direction over the next few days. tomorrow will see a rise in northeasterly swell with the arrival of a new pulse from 30deg. surf will build as the day wears on and with the northerly component in the swell plenty of wrap will be found on northern shores producing juicy little rights. winds may start to swing more southerly as a storm front makes its way towars the islands

south shore charger warning!
SATURDAY...small waves for northern shores as there are no significant swells predicted or in the immediate forecast. the northern pacific has been unusually quiet the past few days thus surf has no been produced. a small northwest swell may linger, but for the most part expect the north shore to be virtually unridable. the south shore should see the current south swell fill in more as the night wears on. the kewalo platform is looking more like it does in the summer with swells registerning over 3ft. the swell have been rising all day there andmy guess is the the south shore should be 3ft or bigger for saturday with ultra mega crowds to match. south shore chargers will be out in force!

out of season southy
FRIDAY...aloha friday will see smaller surf along the northern and eastern shorelines. the northestern swell that arrived late wednesday will subside with surf heights in the 2-3ft range with occasional larger sets. the swell should also swing more easterly follwing the path of the storm that generated the swell. the good news, depending on who you are, is that an out of season south swell should sqweak in later in the day friday and stick around for the weekend. the swell should start to show by sundown with surf arriving out of 200deg in the 14-17sec energy band. forerunners will be of slightly heigher energy bands and refraction from seafloor contours may allow some freak sets late in the day friday. as of this writing there doesn't seem to be much energy on the equatorial buoy so my guess is that there will be long lulls in the sets, if any at all. the call is for a very slowly building south swell and a dropping northeast swell. if you score any head high surf tomorow consider yourself blessed.

back with a vengence!!!
computer chaos has been solved and surf forecasting is about to commence...be advised
THURSDAY...surf will rise along northeastern shorelines as a new northesterly swell fills in overnight. an area of winds associated with a nearby low pressure system will send a short lived swell episode out of 20-50deg locally. winds of near 40mph have been blowing in the direction of hawaii over the last 24hrs as a low pressure formed northeast of the islands. the system was not well organized and did not stay in place for very long therefore swell estimates may be slightly higher than forecasted. surf has been affecting northeastern shorelines for nearly 5 days now with surf bouncing between 3-6ft locally. surf will build to 5ft by morning with waves peaking near 6ft at the most exposed locations. winds should be generous as they have been most of the week meaning they'll likely be light and variable with a slight tradewind flow later in the day.
