last day for kirra
THUSDAY...surf to be on the decline for thursday. the current north-northeast swell has likely peaked or will peak overnight and be on the way down by tomorrow. the system associated with the storm was northeast of hawaii moving south-southeast. although this isn't bad for wave production, storms sending swell from theses parts are generally quick to dissipate. the swell periods showing up now are in the larger spectrum which is indicative that these waves were made further out than the previous day's wave activity. these longer swell periods will help the swell make it around kahuku point and feel the north shore reefs more effectively. tomorrow should see waves of 3-5ft at select spots with rocky's through rockpile locking like one big long kirra. the swell will become less frequent and smaller as the day wears on. winds are anybodies guess as the storm system that's been hanging around the last few days is still there and moving closer.
drive up the east side after work today even though there was a flash flood warning. saw waterfalls in places that i'll never see them at again. the cliffs behind kualoa had plenty of waterfall...my guess is that is very rare. chocalate water plums were shooting out from the the river over there that convinced me that the flash flood statement was no joke. never have i seen such massive plumes before. finally decided to paddle out at off-the-wall...an old friend of mine. surf was fun 2-4ft and glassy. wish i has more time.
