Greetings
Earthlings! Happy New Year! I hope all of you are surfed out and your
arms are noodles! We’ve had some really
fun surf and spectacular conditions for this first week of the year. The surf looks to taper off Sunday with some waist high waves and
messy rainy conditions. Monday will kick off the week with some
significant new WNW swell with surf jumping into the shoulder/HH range with OH
waves at the best spots. The swell is a
quickie and will peak late morning. Surf
drops off Tuesday, back into the
waist/chest high range to start the day and waist high by the end of the
day. Smaller to start Wed but a new small NW groundswell will
bump surf up a tad into the waist high range with occasional chest high set. Size and well holds for Thursday. Looks like Friday will see a real boost in size as
a WNW moves into place and shoots a burst of surf our way for the day. Surf’s gonna jump into the OH+ range by late morning but fade as
quickly as it shows up. The storm that
looks to be creating this swell isn’t sticking around and staying strong as
models show right now. Things could
change. Surf backs waaaaaaay down Sat
and then we’ve got a little dry spell for a while.
Showers
are on the books for the early early morning.
Showers and thunderstorms for most of the day and tapering off in the
evening. Early east winds will start the
day with clean conditions but look for NW winds to kick in by midday. They will probably make a mess of things by
late afternoon. Those brisk NE winds
kick in again Monday so that new swell should see better conditions. Clear and cold til Tues with more clouds for
the second half of the week. COLD
nighttime temps still on the clear days with a few more degrees on the cloudy
days. Water temps is chilly and in the
mid50s. Definitely bootie time
especially for those frost warning mornings! We’re seeing some decent water movement with
a late morning low and medium high at sunset.
Lots more water movement towards the end of the week with swampy high morning
tides and drained out lows for the afternoon sessions.
Back
to the grind but I hope everyone’s kicking off 2013 with some fun surf!
Happy
New Year!

Notes:
1)
If
someone hasn’t already emailed this to you or you haven’t seen this pasted all
over the news and social media this is a link you really should see. It’s a visual documentary by conservationist
photographer Gary Stokes about shark finning focusing on the drying of fins on
the rooftops of buildings in China. This might just make you to think twice about
killing sharks.
2)
These
days we’re all short of time but here are a few tips from Surfer Mag for keeping in shape for
all those surf sessions.
3)
You
might have spotted them already…the whale are migrating! If you want to catch them out why not heat
out with those who know them best…the folks at the Birch Aquarium are doing whale watching trips now through April!
4)
While
you’re sitting at your desk at work trying to get through all those emails and
voice mails take a little break and take a gander at Surfer Mag’s Best
Photos of 2012 . It’ll keep you daydreaming for weeks!
5)
So,
what did you do to end the year? Did you
surf massive
Jaws or Waimea ? Well, these guys
did! Amazes me every time!
First sunset of the year...stunning!
