Remember Bethany Hamilton, the one arm Gutsy Surf Warrior? She’s a new Mom this year, and she hit her dream of surfing 40-50 foot (faces) Jaws, Peahi. The video has privacy settings, so you’ll have to click Bethany’s name, just under the video message below, so you can watch it on Vimeo.
the Surf big and glassy for Thursday morning? Maybe. The winds are still NNE, so I believe we will have some NNW winds before 9 am, turning North pretty strong Thursday morning. Down south may not be so hot, since that’s side shore to almost offshore winds. But up North here that is offshore. Should be head high and glassy to semi-glassy at the Pier with some texture on it, due to strong offshore NNW winds. Down south should be a lot bigger, but not so hot on wind. It’s high tide early, like 5:40 am in Satellite, or a little earlier at the Pier. So it maybe be smokin early, or with the heavy sand deposits on the bottom, it could have problems. Let’s hope the heavy sand bottom has cleared out some ! 🙂
Friday looks big and just barely glassy, as it now looks to be SSW, but pretty light, like 6-8 mph light. If the period of the swell was a little more consistent, I be saying almost double overhead waves. But with the fetch a little inconsistent, I believe it will be 2-4 foot overhead on the bigger sets down south, and 1-2 overhead at the Pier on the bigger sets.
Saturday will still be some head high size, but the winds are iffy right now.
