good evening. heavy rain, lightning, thunder, flooding, big waves here today in hawaii. it all started last night. we needed rain here on the islands and boy did we get it. it’s been a while so the run off water is all in the ocean now. and it looks pretty dirty. yuck. and i was kind of bummed today because i woke up at 5am to go diving. but when i checked the buoys, winds, and weather, i knew no way. now i have to wait until the water cleans up again….
this is 1pm at diamond head. the waves came up but the wind was straight onshore. i saw a few nice ones coming in but you had to be patient. the south swell should be peaking tomorrow. stay tuned. oh, they ran the x-cel pro today at epic 6-8′ sunset beach. i watched some heats and the surfing level was pretty high. as for the japanese, none passed the 4th round. bummer…. the contest should finish up tomorrow with a dropping swell but epic conditions again….
there was a north shore beach cleanup yesterday. i was stoked to see coach rainos hayes and my nephews putting in their part. sorry guys, i wish i could have helped but i was working yesterday…
and this is rocky point at 1pm yesterday. i wasn’t joking when i said the conditions were epic. epic…..
