Mainland Interuption
If you're wondering about the lack of reports lately, it's been due to a combination of no wind and traveling to the mainland. Most of last week saw light winds. Thursday I took off for the mainland for a few days (it is SOOOO good to be back on Maui - the mainland is just nuts in my opinion, but I'll save that rant for another day). Just got back this afternoon and went straight from the airport to Kanaha to get some fresh sea air and get my feet in the sand. No wind today, but the surf is big. There were a few people surfing Lowers and it looked double overhead. A couple of sets were almost barrelling there. Yup. It's winter.
No wind in the forecast this week, but it looks like a HUGE swell is coming, due tomorrow night and Wednesday morning. Forecast is for 30 - 50 foot faces! No that's not a typo! My guess is that all the big wave riders are currently in a frenzy getting ready to hit Jaws on Wednesday morning. I'll have to try to catch up on work tomorrow so I can head out to watch. Stay tuned.

And why didn't you surf lowers? I know the break is big on the outside toward the left (surfer's view) but it gets more manageable as you go right -- especially as you go inside -- was that not ridable?

Several reasons:
I'd just come from the airport, no surfboard
I'm a longboarder only and a kook to boot. Any surf over shoulder-high on my longboard and I don't want to go near it.
