Aloha, surfers and beachgoers! 2008 is great ... in fact, that seems like an understatement. I dare you to count the number of swells we’ve had. OK, I’ll do it for you - 18! Not including the outof-season 4-foot south we just had. Not including any trade wind swells, as well. I’m going to claim it for Hawaii - no ka oi!

Howzit, surfers!

Rolling past the middle of February was sweet. I mean, how many Valentines treat you to 20-foot waves? There was plenty romancing and dancing out in the deep blue. Waimea Bay was just as pretty as it gets

The waves are high rockin’ and rollin’! In fact, BIG Thursday cracks the outer reefs and the bay. We have warnings posted and wave warriors panting. This storm should be one of the biggest of the season. There should be many more above advisory NW swells through February. 

Aloha, surfers and free beach accessors,
Wow, what poor weather, wind and waves we had earlier this week. The dirty water runoff kept many ocean-going folks out for the count, especially for Kauai and Hawaii.

There went January ... and what a January it was! I’ll measure it up against almost anywhere in the world. Those who think it wasn’t great are greatly spoiled. The North Shore averaged about 6- to 8-foot local scale. Most surfers in the world would drool for their local break to average double to triple overhead.
