Yesterday the swell was still pounding the south shore, though not quite as strong as on Wed. The tradewinds picked upto 10-15 mph so it was not nearly as clean either.

I paddled out at Old Mans, and while I thought the swell was big enough for the funboard, I was wrong. The waves break really (really) thick there even with overhead waves. The longboarders were having a blast though.

Afterwords I swung by Diamondhead Cliffs and snapped a picture of the choppy/crappy waves that were breaking there:

Forecast

Today looks like the swell has tapered off to 2-5′ faces, and the wind has picked up even more. Tomorrow a new swell arrives which will bring us 7′+ faces once again, though the trades are predected to be in the 10-25 mph range, it should still be good fun!
