I USE HAWAIIAN MEASURES AND I ALWAYS WILL.
(Hawaiian measures are half of the actual faces of the waves)

Saturday 01/17/04

Finally glassy surf !!

Surf was 4 to 6 feet early today, pretty glassy in the morning with no winds.
Around noon, light Northeast winds started to blow, but it never really damage the conditions.
In the afternoon, the swell dropped and the winds calmed down again.
It was one of the glassiest days in the past weeks, no kidding...
There are two new large swells expected to hit Hawaii:
one is hitting already the buoy 51001 and
it should start to show tomorrow morning building into Monday.
This swell will gradually lower Tuesday through Thursday
with heights expected to remain above advisory levels of 15 feet.
Another Northwest swell is expected on Friday with surf above advisory levels.
Have a good holiday weekend !!!

Aloha Claudia,

Best wishes to you. Keep up the great
work with the website. It's real useful
for me in maintaining a database of
surf observations.

HAWAIIAN THOUGHTS:

"The climatological average based on 1968-2002
for the first double overhead swell on North Shores for the new season is September 17th (+/- 9 days).
For high surf levels (15 feet face), the average is September 29th (+/- 12 days).
The first Waimea day (25+ face) averages to November 11th (+/- 28 days)(Pat Caldwell)."

"No matter how we choose to go into the water,
whether it is surfing big waves, surfing small waves, sailing, canoeing or swimming.
It is important that we can enjoy ourselves and find peace(Clyde Aikau)."
