Aloha, this is Kekoa with the report for Saturday morning at 6:00 AM.
4-7 ft. - shoulder high to 2 ft. overhead and fair-good conditions.
SSW swell continues to hold strong and pulse this morning to provide very solid surf. Waves are in the shoulder to head high range with some near 2 ft. overhead sets. . Trade winds continue to blow at light to moderate levels so this will chop out the south-east shore lines.
Partly sunny. Scattered showers in the morning...then isolated showers in the afternoon. Highs 78 to 87. East winds 10 to 15 mph.
SSW swell is holding strong today and providing plenty of action for all the weekend warriors! Most spots on the south shore have solid surf in the shoulder to head high range with some near 2 feet overhead sets favoring mainly the channel entrances like Kaisers, Kewalos and Ala Moana. The Kilo Nalu buoy is showing the groundswell with readings of 5ft @ 16 seconds...so this swell shall remain very solid throughout the day. Trade winds are in the light range today and will provide nice offshore conditions for town shores. How long will this south swell last? Check the extended forecast for all the details.
SUNDAY: S swell fades but still looks good for waist-shoulder-head high surf at the better breaks. Standouts have a few overhead sets lingering.
Wind: E Trades around 5-10kts.

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.

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.

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!
