Aloha , this is Maverick with the report for Saturday morning at 6:30 AM.
4-6 ft. - shoulder high to 1 ft. overhead and good conditions.
SSW pushing in solid head high sets, with some occ. sets above, thanks to the hefty period span around 17 - 20 seconds. Might drop a notch down this afternoon. The High Surf Advisory remains posted for all South facing shores.
ENE tradewinds with some occ. clouds and passing showers for windward shores, and voggy skies for the leeward shores building through the day from the onshore thermal winds. Temps in the mid 80's with the Summer feel.
South shore madness with a nice SSW swell that is providing some quality surf for the S - WSW exposures. This is primarily our Kona breaks, and heads up for the weekend crowds. This swell has some oomph to it with a large period span reaching up to 20 seconds. The High Surf Advisory remains posted for all South facing shores, so excercise caution in & around the water. Windward shores have a mix of local windswell around waist high, but the ENE onshore winds will kick in after a fair morning session, providing bumpy and choppy conditions through the day. North shores are back to minimal, with only the local ENE windswell wrapping in up to knee high. Check our extended forecast section for all the skoops , and how the near future surf outlook is looking.

The Doris Duke Theater at the Hawaii Academy of Arts is showing classic surf movies such as Five Summer Stories, Kowabunga, Super Session, and more in the coming weeks. Adult admission is $7 and students and military are $5. Hard to beat these prices for a night of nostalgic stoke! Call (808) 532-8700 for more information.
Frank Films is pleased to announce that One Winter Story will screen at the Palace Theater in Hilo on Saturday, September 6th at 6:30pm. Also screening that night will be "The Punaluu Experience," a film by Danny Miller (26min.). The screening is apart of the Hawaii Film Ho'ike, an event sponsored by the theater, The County of Hawaii, and the Big Island Film Commission, and features films made in Hawaii by residents of Hawaii. We are proud to be included in this inaugural event and hope that anyone who missed our island tour in 2006 as a part of the Hawaii International Film Festival, will come to the screening!
Team Billabong won the Hawaiian Airlines Legends Surf Classic at the 2008 Duke's Oceanfest on 8/23. Led by team legend Paul Strauch, Tony Moniz and his kids, Isaiah, Kelia, and Seth, ripped the 1'-2' surf to take first place out of a field of 22 pro and amateur teams. Other legends in attendence were Donald Takayama, Randy Rarick, Buzzy Kerbox, LJ Richards, Sam George, Ken Bradshaw, Joey Cabell, Laura Blears, Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Becky Benson, Nancy Emerson, Ben Aipa, Keone Downing, Billy Pa, Jack McCoy and many others. Mahalo to event coordinator Jim Fulton, the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation, and sponsors for another great event!
The North Pacific showed some early activity in August as a couple of green and yellow blobs dotted the NPAC wave models. Laniakea, Chuns, Rockies, and Kammieland had a few head high days that were packed with hungry surfers looking for relief after the summer doldrums. The North
Shore should reawaken at proper size in a couple of weeks. Time to dust off the old 7'4" pintail again!
Aloha Defend Oahu Supporters! Heavy Water Magazine has chosen Defend Oahu to be the recipient of their newest, wildly successful quarterly fundraising event. The donations from this event will go toward helping defer the legal fee's incurred during our Land Use Commission motion. Come out and celebrate with at the Pipeline Cafe on September 20th. Doors open at 9:00 pm with great music, a Fashion Show, Raffle and good times!
The overwhelming consensus among South Shore locals is that the summer of 2008 goes down as the best and most consistent seasons in decades. After last year¹s extended wave drought, anything would have looked good, and despite some funky winds, surfers enjoyed day after day after day of head high to well overhead bombs from Sandy Beach to Yokohama Bay, and the vibe on the beach and in the water was great as everyone got their fill. Heck, even the Bowls guys were giving away set waves!!!
A contributor to the Grammy-nominated "Hawaiian Slack Key Kings", Makana is considered one of the "greatest living players" (Esquire Magazine) who's "instrumental brilliance bears comparison with the work of such groundbreaking acoustic guitarists as John Fahey and Michael Hedges" (Maui News). And now, the islander has been selected as finalist in Guitar Player's Guitar Superstar
Competition. Hundreds of guitarists from around the world submitted their songs to Guitar Player Magazine for review. Out of those, only 10 were chosen to compete live. Congrats, Makana!
