Aloha, this is Kekoa with the report for Monday morning at 7:00 AM.
5-8 ft. - head high to 3 ft. overhead and good conditions.
Swell has dropped down and cleaned up considerably today. Waves still looking pretty solid in the head high to overhead range with some inconsistent larger sets. Winds have shifted out of the south making for smooth and glassy conditions but look for the onshores to start up later today.
Cloudy in the morning then becoming partly sunny. Scattered showers. Haze. Highs around 79. West winds around 10 mph shifting to the north in the afternoon. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Waves have dropped down considerably but looking extremely clean on this first day of December. There are still some solid waves in the head high to overhead range with some inconsistent larger sets at select locations. The Waimea Bay buoy is reading the energy of 5ft. @ 13 seconds...so look for the swell to decline throughout the day. Winds have shifted out of the south making for nice glassy conditions all the way from Kaena Point up to Kahuku. There looks to be even more large to extra large NW swells developing so check our extended forecast for all the details.
*Women's Roxy Pro at Sunset Beach is ON*
TUESDAY: New/solid NW groundswell rapidly fills in over Monday night and peaks on Tuesday with LARGE surf as the old NW drops out. This new swell tops out with 15-20'+ faces showing at many breaks, select deepwater reefs hold occasional bigger sets pushing up to 25-30' on the face. Furthermore, expect clean conditions.
Wind: South winds veer East through the day around 5-10kts. Mainly light SE flow.

Save The Waves Coalition recently announced a groundbreaking new event, "The Value of Waves Roundtable," taking place Friday, December 5th in Half Moon Bay. The first-ever event will be at brand-new Oceano Hotel & Spa at Pillar Point Harbor, in the shadow of the word-famous big-wave break "Mavericks." The Roundtable will bring together thought leaders and experts from multiple fields to discuss wave and coastal protection within the context of Save The Waves' new global initiative, the World Wave Sites Program. Link to Surfwire for more information.
Surfers complained to North Shore lifeguards that a commercial tour helicopter hovered dangerously close over them as they sat in the lineup at Laniakea in early November. The lifeguards subsequently filed a report with the FAA, who said that if this was true, it was clearly a violation of clearance regulations. It’s also a clear violation of common sense on the pilot’s behalf as well. Surfers on Oahu ’s south shore have made similar complaints about low flying choppers and have been burned by hot engine oil falling on them.
2008 will be known as the year of the weird winds in Hawaii . Local meteorologists have observed the substantial decrease of consistent NE trade winds this year. They say that zonal weather models in the North Pacific have been unusually fickle this year and unfavorable for maintaining the prevailing trades that keep 75% of the Hawaii ’s coastlines groomed with clean offshore conditions. 2008 has produced a record number of Kona wind events that ran the directional gamut from due 100 to 320 degrees and included rare and funky W/NW events. The Konas have also caused pestilence such as thick volcanic haze and funnel clouds across the state. The good news is that secret east facing spots that are normally mushy and onshore are firing and surfable more often. Shhhh!
Hawaii artist, Clark Takashima has finished "The Dream Tour Series", a collection of 11 paintings depicting the beautiful locations on the ASP World Tour. Come check ‘em out at "Two Clarks" Fine Surf Art & Photography Show @ Wylands, 12-17-08, 6-10 pm. We’ll see you there!
Dawn patrollers at Puaena Point were spooked out of the water on 11/14, when a large Tiger Shark decided to play happy meal with a sea turtle in clear view of a few freaked out surfers. With the Reef Hawaiian Pro in blissful full swing just across the harbor channel, the waves were a juicy 3’-4’ and it was strange to see the usually packed lineup deserted. Estimates of the shark’s length were between 12’-15’, and although it’s early in the winter season, this is not the first big shark scare at PP in the last two months. Keep your eyes peeled when surfing out there.
Some idiots keep trashing the beach at Piddleys, right next to Chun’s Reef. They’re partying there at night, and then leaving smoldering fires and throwing beer bottles, plastic bags, food wrappers, cigarettes, and cans all over the beach for dawn patrollers to clean up. Like grafitti, it’s an obvious attempt to shock and sadden others. This pristine area serves as a nesting ground for endangered Hawaiian sea birds and is the paddle out spot for Piddleys, a discreet and rippable lefthander. So to whoever is doing this, knock it off and you’re damned lucky us surfers didn’t catch you in the act! Consider yourself duly warned.
Former Banzai Pipeline warrior Bob Fram was on a local newscast expressing grave concern over the possible condemnation of his commercial property in Honolulu . Fram’s Garden and Valley Isle Seafood sits smack dab in the path of the proposed Honolulu Rail Transit project and city surveyors have been snooping around his building recently to take measurements. This highly successful company offers wholesale seafood to restaurants and the public. Let’s hope Frammy can negotiate this threat like he did collapsing sections inside the tube at Pipe.
North Shore restaurants, retailers, boardmakers and landlords are geared up for and welcoming the busy winter surf season as surfers, tourists, and holiday shoppers descend upon Oahu . This influx of visitors brings with it seasonal employment, disposable cash, choke traffic, and a social buzz to the normally placid rural lifestyle. The win...
