3/3
FRIDAY...surf coming back up from the north-northeast once again as a new swell moves in. then next swell in a series of many that have affected the north and east shores of the islands over the last week or so should fill in slightly overnight and greet dawn patrollers with 4-6ft surf out of the north-northeast. buoys are showing long period swell from this direction and with the current trend remaining steady surf should stay at least at the heights that were observerd today. the long period nature of this swell will assist in amplifying breakers at select reefs. waves of double the open ocean heights are possible at spots that are partial to north swells and are known to be "the" spot on swells such as these. on southern shores a newly building south swell should start to fill in tomorrow with waves being seen by nightfall. the equatorial buoy is showing good indications that this swell will be for real as both waveheights and energy have been on the rise all day. look for the main swath to fill in by saturday with this swell. winds seem light as of this writing, but this may not be the case in the AM.
