It’s here.
The period is too long pretty much everywhere. Closeout city.

Time to check the reefs. Hopefully it's big.

Shucks. Think you shot Baby Haleiwa which is where I was.

We gotta hook up again brother Bud.

Pretty flat here in the land of perfect right points. In other words, totally normal!!!

Is the Ala Moana red buoy gone again?

So when is someone going to follow the swell again like Mike Stewart did in 1996?

@Subway seems to be the logical choice.

Drive by at the reefs this morning. Pretty empty for the most part.

One booger out, a few standups further beyond.

Is there any way to embed YouTube shorts? Hard to see sh!t! :

Don't let the below photo fool you, that's one guy out and a lumpy going nowhere intermission between long closeout lines.



Below is typical of what was coming through the rest of the time. I would estimate face size at about 15 ft. There were slightly larger sets though.



Towards North County this normally sh!t spot actually looked fun and pretty lined up with some speedy slopey faced ones that would have been fun on the right equipment (which I don't own.)




Unless something amazing changesmI'm calling today a wash but have plans for the next two days. Better to conserve my energy.

How's Mala Wharf been?

Any footage from that crazy reform slab wave I think on Big Island? I have no idea the name but I think it’s in a bay and popular with the boogers?

Some huge Garbage Dump 1/2 way through

Dawned Queen’s Left again. This time paddled the 5’9 Tokoro Moonfish out. Round nose, flatter rocker, boar worked good. It was smaller than yesterday but still solid. Took a bunch of closeouts on the head. I was just trying to get one of those double ups I saw yesterday and today. Lucked into a nugget and got a barrel. Last wave got another nugget. A guy on a shortboar outside missed it and I whipped late. High lined it and got a quick coverup and a thumbs up from an old timer.

We have a group text with the Bowls dawn patrol and I sent them this text. Haha.

You didn't see @Subway out there by any chance?

Thanks for the content!

Not sure, if he was out between 5:15 and 8am I would’ve been out same time same as yesterday. I never surf Queens but knew a couple of guys and ladies out because they surf my regular. So I wouldn’t know who were new faces. Couple guys looked as lost as I was yesterday but I stayed away from them cause don’t know if they’re dangerous.
