Pat Caldwell Report

Surf Zone Forecast for Oahu
  • Hazards
    No high surf advisory or warnings.
  • Forecast
    Surf along south facing shores will be 4 to 7 feet, with occasional higher sets, through Saturday. Surf along west facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet through Saturday. Surf along east facing shores will be rising to 4 to 6 feet on Saturday. Surf along north facing shores will remain 2 feet or less through Saturday.
  • Outlook
    Outlook through Thursday Aug 5: the current south swell will gradually lower through the weekend. A new south swell is expected to build early next week, with surf approaching advisory levels on the south facing shores on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rough surf along the east facing shores will subside next week as the trade winds weaken. Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, in the zone of maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.

Wind Surfers Take Over
It was unbelieveable.  A good semi-clean day at Diamond Head with just a handful of people in the dead center of the summer.  Like a dream come true, almost.

There must've been some kind of  Wind Surfers convention because they were dominating the waves, scaring off the surfers, and represented multiple nationalities.  I have to admit it was cool to watch them build up speed and then launch straight into the air off the waves but c'mon people.  It's bad enough watching out for other surfers.  When a windsurfer drives through the line up what chance is there for the little guy.  I'm not suggesting we make two zones or something, but please windsurf around us not through us and show a little Aloha were ever you're from.
