Update

Surf is starting to clean up and the sun is trying to shine through!! Right now as of 1pm we are looking at head high sets with the wind calming down and warm air flowing in. Just got a report that up north is going off and once the tide backs out a little more, out front should be great. So stop checking the reports and cams and just trust me on this one......GO SURFING!!!!!

Surf Report

Well gang right now we are looking at chest to head high surf out front that is cleaning up as we speak. The winds are coming from the WSW with more of a SW by late afternoon. The tide is full right now so you are going to want to wait a few hours to get wet. I was hoping to get a few rides in this am, but with the tides and the wind on in earlier I wasn't so lucky. There is the afternoon and I will be getting out there at some point today and I suggest you do the same!! I'll keep you updated on the latest conditions throughout the day, but like I said chest to head high and cleaning up, that means go get some!!

We have everything you could need at the shop from warm winter hats for after surf sessions to the coldest of cold water wax and everything in between. It is hood weather and we have plenty of those in stock too. As always we also have all your boot and glove needs and if you have been putting off that 4/3 purchase, well now is the time to do it. there is going to be surf all weekend long and potentially into next week so you are going to need your new rubber. I am at the shop from 11-4/5 depending on how the surf looks this afternoon. Just give me a buzz and make sure I am there if you need anything.

Thanks gang, see you in the water!

WAVES

Right now there are choppy chest high sets rolling in more of a storm surge than anything right now, but there are waves on tap for at least the next three days. Tomorrow we should be starting our day with chest to head plus sets and building. By afternoon we are going to be looking at head + for the remainder of the day and into Saturday. Sunday looks to be shoulder high all day. The winds tomorrow will be WNW and the tides full at 10 am with a low at 4:48 pm. The tides only pushing up a foot so it will be right on time. The winds look like they might shift to NNW on Saturday so you might need to find a little more protection. Venturing up the coast might not be a bad idea on Saturday, and for Sunday, well just stay put because I am calling chest to 1.5x over head all day with a wind right out of the west. Thank god this flat spell is over for us for the time being so go get some. I'll have a detailed report tomorrow AM so check back and see the real time updates from out front!

Andy Irons 

1978 - 2010

On a more somber note, I am a day late with the news of Andy Irons' passing, and I want to apologize to all of you out there for that. I was searching all day yesterday for the right words to put on this blog, and much to my chagrin, I couldn't. All I know is that surfing lost one of the best. The only one to take down the mighty Slater in his prime, the mayor of pipe and one of the kindest and most generous persons to walk the shores of Kauai. So with that I leave you with the best tribute that I can, compliments of Trans-World Surf and Senior Photographer Brian Bielmann.

So please just make sure that when that one set wave rolls in you leave it be and let AI take it all the way home. 

R.I.P Andy, and we'll

See you in the water
