I would like to send visitors to this wonderful Hawaii Surf News Website I discovered while "web surfing." It's probably the coolest surfing site I've ever ran into regarding current wave conditions at the many great surfing spots available, focused on HI. This site has so many features it's difficult to simply report on, it must be experienced to be truly appreciated. A tip of the hat to the producers of this great website!
If you surf Hawaii or are planning a trip for that purpose - this is a must stop! I have to warn you though - you may suffer from information overload. They have thought of everything you would want to know and loads more. Check it out!
Here are a few up to date surfing condition quotes:
"Surf along north facing shores will be 4 to 6 feet today lowering to 2 to 4 feet Tuesday."
"Surf along east facing shores will be 2 to 3 feet today lowering to 1 to 3 feet Tuesday."
"Surf along south facing shores will be 2 to 3 feet today lowering to 1 to 3 feet Tuesday."
"Surf along west facing shores will be 2 to 3 feet through Monday lowering to 1 to 2 feet Tuesday."
"Outlook through Sunday Nov 16. A new northwest swell will arrive on Wednesday and build quickly overnight. This swell will peak Thursday with surf along north facing shores likely exceeding the advisory level of 15 feet. Another northwest swell is expected late Sunday and may bring above advisory level surf of 15 feet along north facing shores. Current south swell will slowly subside Wednesday."
Links on this site include various surfing competitions, inter-active, real time video of various hotspots around the HI islands, weather reports and other goodies such as this piece regarding Shark Warnings!
"The Department of Land and Natural Resources is urging all ocean users to be wary of sharks when in the water, citing current reports of large sharks in Hawaii's near shore waters and the shark bite of a surfer on Tuesday."
"Do not enter the water where shark warning signs are posted; in all other areas please exercise caution when entering the water."
"Although there is no definitive explanation for increased shark presence in near shore waters, experienced fishermen and scientists know that some shark species come into shallower waters during this time of year for spawning, which increases the chances of interaction between sharks and people, DLNR officials said."
I hope you all will enjoy this hotbed of information as much as I did. Cheers!
