Picture of the day and a massive low pressure
Local time 10.46 hours
We have some rare days at Honolua Bay, only a very few days in the year the wind is blowing the opposite directon form the trade winds. We call them Kona Winds and these winds make Honolua Bay look less perfect than usually, but hey, it is still a point so the waves peel still in one direction only. Do you see on the picture, there are only 4 guys out that is the best, you can still score long rides without the crowds but at a lesser quality. In the mean while the wind blows off shore at Ho’okipa.
Now to this picture below: I am sure all surfers are somewhat weather geeks such as I am, so I am sure you are impressed by this low preassure like I am. Almost the entire Northern and Central Pacific is consumed by this giant low pressure with there centers all below 980ppa. It reaches from the Canadian West Coast all the way to the Kamtschtka Penisula and down to Hawaii, that is also why we have the Kona winds. Very impressive stuff if you ask me. That off course means more big waves for Hawai’i.
So jetzt aber…!
