Today I had an awesome surf session with Emily on Oahu’s South Shore. It was much less crowded, and the waves were a bit bigger. While they were not much bigger the extra size and consistency made all the difference. I also used my 8.0 Superfish which seemed much more stable than my 9.1 performance longboard. The 9.1 is more narrow and thinner than the Superfish. The extra stability really helped on the small waves.

As far as the surfing goes – I caught 5 waves total with one being a really long one. This was much better than an average day in Linda Mar where if I catch 1 or 2 waves I consider it a good day. This day really put the stoke smile back on my face, and 5 hours later I’m still smiling.

Going to try for 2 surf sessions a day for the next 11 days. Can’t wait until tomorrow!

Surfline surf report for today – Moderate SSW swell is providing some small surf for town shorelines today. Most locations have waves in the ankle to knee high range with a some sets in the waist high range. The Kilo Nalu buoy is reading 2.8 feet @ 7 seconds…so watch for this swell to fade throughout the day. Light tradewinds will provide typical side to offshore conditions for southern shorelines.
