Aloha
all! Is everyone exhausted from the
heat, warm weather and fun surf this past weekend? We’re just seeing the tail end of that SW
swell with some NW wind swell lumped on top for Wednesday. Surf backing down
into the waist high range. The quality
and size will really vary depending on the tides as we near the New Moon on
Friday. Thursday the surf backs down
even farther to the thigh/waist high range.
Late Thursday we’ll see the start of the next SW swell. This one’s a
little more steep than the previous swell but we should still see some fun
waves. Friday morning we’re looking at long interval waist/chest high surf. Spots farther north and aimin’ south should
pick up some pretty fun waves from this swell with slightly bigger sets in the
shoulder/HH arena. Tacked on to this
swell will be some smaller FKA Hurricane Hector swell. Hector came out from under Baja and swung in
our general direction but sort of pooped out along the way. We’ll see most of our energy coming from the
original SW with some backup swell from Hector. Shoulder high by the end of Friday and into Saturday. Swell peaks Saturday but we’ll still see surf
Sunday in the waist/chest range and
then slightly smaller for the start of next week. Looks like some longer period swell with more
west in it for the start of next week.
No huge swells out there but it’ll give us something to ride for next
week.
The
heat’s finally starting to break at the coast.
We’ll be “dropping” down into the high-mid70s for the rest of the week
and even slightly cooler (low 70s) for the weekend and next week. We’ll still see some early morning clouds and
late sunset clouds Wed with mostly sunshine Thursday and Fri. A few more morning clouds coming back for the
weekend. Light and variable winds
through the evening and mild for most of the day with a nice breeze by
midday. Water temperatures are a
phenomenal 72-74 degrees. Tides are not
moving a lot in the morning hours…a mild high tide mid-morning to a medium low
in the early afternoon but the super high tide
in the evening will surely slow some waves down a bit for those sunset
sessions.
Count
your blessings that it’s only 80 at the coast and 73 in the water…you could be
in Phoenix where it’s forecasted to be 111 degrees tomorrow and not an ocean
insight!
Mahalo!

Notes:
1)
While
many cities are banning plastic you can still take your used grocery bags and
recycle them at recycling centers at the store.
And what happens after you stuff it into that big cardboard box? I’m glad you asked…check out this Youtube
video showing how
plastic bags are recycled.
2)
As
many of us are heading to places more tropical, to the in-laws for a visit or
just getting away from it all there are a few things you can do to not only cut
down on your carbon footprint but save yourself money by not burning
electricity when you’re not even home to use it. Here are a few tips
from Earth911.com.
3)
It’s
THAT time of year…find a friend who has the biggest flat screen TV and hang on
to your seats. It’s the Billabong Pro at Teahupoo! Last
year the surf went RICHTER and the tow session they had during the “too big to
surf” stoppage. The forecast isn’t as
good as last year but Teahupoo and pro surfers never disappoint!
4)
And
in case you aren’t reading this from Padang Padang…Chris Ward won the
Rip Curl Pro there last Friday in some pretty nice conditions. Here, judge
for yourself!
5)
And
we’ll end with a clip of summer
session a few years ago...Malibu with Joel Tudor and Alex Knost…two guys who
really know how to longboard!
