Seems like a new southern pulse. Some inconsistent head-high. Definitely bigger than yesterday.

It's sunny, and the water is warm, but it's small, mushy, and crowded.

About the same size, weak and choppy. No one out. Fun.

There's still something--it's holding on. Kinda fun even though it's weak and mushy.

I think it's bigger. It's empty--there's barely anyone out. Guess everyone's surfing Country. I heard the North Shore is nice but packed.

It's bigger, but it's still small. Heard Bowls was "cracking" this morning.

Slightly bigger. Seems like a smallish southern bump. I don’t know what it is, but it is.

Just like yesterday. I did it so that you don’t have to. Learn from my mistake.

About 1-2. Decent conditions. It was weak and boring at my spot.

Bad And Good

Open: first round, last, 7th (yikes!), eliminated. Senior: first round, 1st, advance; finals, 2nd.

For the Open, I was so bummed and embarrassed that I not only came in last but that it was in a seven-man heat. Wow, talk about going down hard. I did much, much better in the Senior. I was getting good waves and surfing pretty well. The scores were close, too, between the guy who won and me.

Might Be A Good One

The next event scheduled for today at Kewalo's is on. I think the waves should be nice.

Surfed my old left-hander yesterday to practice, and it was kinda going off. Consistent over-head sets with push that were lining up all the way to the inside. Some of the best stuff I've had in a while (and that's including the two recent south swells).

There was only a handful of us. One of the regulars from my usual spot was out, and he and I were catching all the best stuff. It was really fun. I was doing pretty well, but my backhand is still very clumsy and tentative. Could be worse, though, I guess. But I definitely don’t feel confident going left. Hopefully, there'll be some rights too.

Small waves, but it's a beautiful day, and it felt great to get in the water.
