Itinerary
This is the plan. My Senior finals heat is at 12:45. I have to be at work by 1:30. If I went directly from Magic Island afterward, I could easily make it on time. Instead, I'll have to be about half an hour late because I'm going back home first to drop off my board and change clothes.
Gonna surf the Left-hander this morning for about an hour to warm up and get loose. That'll give me enough time to get to Ala Moana to find parking. Yesterday I freaked out when I got there because the Koko Head-side entrance was blocked off to vehicle access (but not egress) due to a walk-run race. Just when I was gonna park at the shopping center, I found that they were allowing cars to enter from the Ewa-side. Today, there's supposed to be a parade and perhaps a 10K running race.
I'm going to practice this morning not because this event is so important (and it kinda is for me) but because I don't want to make a fool of myself (something I'm good at doing). People won't be watching for me in particular, of course, but there are going to be many spectators, and I don't want to be remembered as the one who blew the wave of the day.
There are divergent forecast views. All of them, however, are saying it's supposed to get bigger some time between today and tomorrow. So, hopefully, it'll start building this morning, if it hasn' started doing so already.
P.S. The water wasn't dirty; that is, not more than it typically used to be.
