They ran one whole day of non-elimination heats so they still have 25 heats left. Are the going to finish on Friday or try to get an extension? I'm wondering if they're going to run overlapping heats? I'm guessing not since it's not required by the city anymore.
Seems to be a bit from the W, should be a pipe fest with a few backdoor ones.
West is best, seems like the perfect direction for pipe and probably(hopefully) a little too big for backdoor. I don't go out at pipe but I plan on being out nearby, I have high hopes for this swell.

Plus I believe they want to finish the women's Honolulu Bay contest at Pipe. That by itself will probably take 2-3 hours.

Not sure what to do / where to go this morning.

the WSL website says the call will be at 7am, hoping that's the case (and they might need the extra 30 min).

I think they'll have time to finish the whole thing.They'll obviously run today, tomorrow also very likely and the last day of the waiting period is due for some new swell, I think 3 days is plenty of time (they might even wrap up early tomorrow if it gets too small too quick and still have time to finish it all on Sunday).

The surf on Sunday is forecasted to be smaller then the leftover surf on Friday. There is a bigger swell maybe Wednesday, I bet that if they don't finish Friday that they will get an extension. There doesn't seem to be any rules anymore.

Guy Hagi on Hawaii News Now said the contest starts at 0800 hrs Hawaii time which is in 45 minutes.
He also said he hasn't heard anything about the Wahine's contest as of yet ~
