Breaking weird, as if it's high tide (but it's not). Pronounced east angle. Some head-high. Un-crowded.

Shucks, forgot to post about yesterday's session. It was showing signs of something out of the SW.
Today? Smaller. Light wind earlier, now moderate trades and sloppy form. But the chest-high sets were getting more consistent when I left.

Perhaps slightly bigger; otherwise, pretty much the same.

Slightly bigger--showing something out of the SW. Still messy.

Attack Update
I found something: "Surfer suffers mystery bite off Diamond Head." So it was a barracuda?

Overall, about waist- to head-high. The sets seemed to be getting more consistent and bigger when I left. But very sloppy from the gusty wind and high tide.
I was shocked to hear that a girl was attacked by a shark at Diamond Cliffs yesterday morning. I didn't see anything on the news last night. My friend told me the girl was sitting on her board when she was knocked off and then bitten on the ankle by some kind of sea creature.
But doesn't that sound like classic shark behavior? Don't they typically first stun their victim by hitting/ramming them and then come back for a more direct attack? I've heard great whites do the same thing but the first move isn't a bump but a huge bite to disable and cause massive loss of blood.

Good form and lining up but weak. Wind is moderate and blowing like trades but is a bit north-y. Some head-high.

Might be a slight bump out of the S-SE. Some very-occasional head-high. Much better form than yesterday. Heard a certain nearby spot was going off this morning from 8:30-10:00.

Tiny and crowded. Glad I'm going to work early--got lots of stuff to do, and there's nothing going on in the surf.
