There's something, but it's a bit windy and sloppy. Not sure...probably weak energy of new swell rather than remnants of current fading swell.

About 1-2, maybe some rare 3s. Windy. Not crowded.
Wasn't gonna do it, but four ibuprofen made a difference. You're not surprised, are you?

Painful
The waves yesterday were so-so. It dropped from Friday, but there were some occasional head-high sets. The form improved with the rising tide.
Open: first round, 3rd, advance; second round, 6th (last), eliminated. Senior: first round, 2nd, advance; finals, 5th.
My shoulder was extremely sore. I couldn't paddle really. Took a total of seven ibuprofen and applied ice between heats. Pretty sure I made it worse by pushing myself to participate.
Right now, I think I'm going to rest today. If my shoulder doesn't get better by tomorrow, gonna call the doc and ask for a cortisone shot.

Bad Shape
The next event is this morning at Kewalo's. But my shoulder is extremely sore.
It seems to be the same injury from months back. If you remember, I was surfing and fell on it real hard. It got bad to the extent I couldn't paddle, and the doctor gave me a cortisone shot, and that pretty much took care of it. Until now, it seems.
I don’t know how I re-injured it. It simply started hurting a few weeks ago. It's been the worst during the previous few days, and right now I can barely lift my arm.
I've been icing it at night and taking ibuprofen in the mornings, and that's been enough to allow me to keep surfing. I don’t know what's wrong, but if it doesn't start getting better in the next hour, or so, I don’t think I can surf. That's a bummer because the waves are probably quite decent today.

Bigger but only 1-3 with excellent conditions (north-y wind). Some freakish bigger sets. Is it not really hitting yet, or is that all we're getting?

Small but definitely showing signs of something new because the direction and feel are different. Ideal angle for two of my regular spots. Very lined-up, long walls with light onshore breeze. Prediction: Tomorrow might not be big, but it will be good.
