This week has blessed us with very light Kona winds, causing glassy perfect conditions for the entire island. The windward side has been getting a good overhead swell that has wrapped around to Diamond Head and a few other south shore spots…gracing them with great conditions.
All day today and yesterday Diamond Head was picture perfect and judging by the Kona winds outlook for the week, it will continue to be for the next few days.
A big south swell has arrived along with the heat of the summer. Current conditions are glassy 4-7+ foot faces and 18 second periods. It doesn’t get much better than this on the south shore.
From the looks of the forecast, the swell will be sticking around for the next few days.
This morning I paddled out at Tongs (next to old man’s) and had a blast. The waves were doubleing up a bit as they normally do there, but looking up and down the shore a few of the nearby breaks were just beautiful.
Stay tuned for some pictures and more surf reports as the week goes on!
