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
