fun new swell in september

went up to the north and west...depended on the surf forecasting skills to guide me. found a new swell arriving at the claw with 2-3ft surf with pure glass and ended up having a fun session for three hours me and rich with great waves sharing and trading. went and had a beer with joe and went back and found 3-5 foot surf with fun conditions...more fun than i should be allowed.

great south swell near the end of summer

SUNDAY...surf from the current south swell should continue.

on saturday surf reached near the six foot level at select reefs. this swell was generated by a powerful storm off new zealand that provided tahiti with surf near the fifteen foot threshold. given the optimum direction of the swell and little in the way of blockage, it was a good bet the swell would be large when it did arrive and deliver it did.

surf should start to trend down by late saturday and recent buoy observations are indicating that the swell is starting to drop.

look for solid surf near four feet at most spots with the odd larger set with a general trend down for the day.

winds should be good for the day with the light to moderate trades.
