First of all, welcome trundlebum!
You're absolutely right!

I don't know the whole story other than I had heard that Jason narrowly escaped being hit by a ski at Jaws.

Any one else out there have an opinion?

Just got back from school, and these have been my first four days back in the water here on LI. Lots of surfing, and kiteboarding! I took my whitewater boat out yesterday when it got a little mushy. ASP is coming to long beach.

Good to hear from you Jason. This thread can use some stoke and input!
we have some advisory level south swell foretasted for later this week. I am going to need verification before venturing over with gas prices the way they are. We have a pretty good real time web cam aimed at Break Wall.

Uncle Pat Caldwell says,
OAHU-700 PM HST MON MAY 23 2011
HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES
Surf along south facing shores will be 5 to 8 feet Tuesday.
Uncle Glen James says this for us on Maui
Maalaea Bay: 2+ Hawaiian
Lahaina: 2-3+ Hawaiian

Note: Wave face readings are approximately twice the surf forecast numbers indicated in the tables above.

South shores - A south-southwest swell will continue, reaching high surf advisory levels into Wednesday…slowly lowering through Thursday and Friday. A new somewhat smaller south swell will arrive by this coming weekend.
It looks like good south shore surfing for a while if those strong trades don't wrap around mess it up.

Sounds like I should put surfboards in the truck tomorrow and go over to the south side!

Last Friday I wave sailed logo to mast high all afternoon. What a late season treat!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
