Scott and I cut out of work early to hit up what was supposed to be a growing 3-5' North swell with Kona Winds. To our surprise the swell has slowed and will not arrive until tomorrow and will be overhead plus! We drove from Haleiwa to Turtle Bay checking every break along the way and found blown out knee high waves. Since we both live over in town we thought we would continue around the island and just see how the swells were on the Eastern shore with the Kona winds. We were amazed as we checked in on Goat island... knee to waist clean & glassy walls with no one out! We ran back to the truck, grabbed the boards and had the session of a lifetime. With the exception of a fifteen minute lull we only spoke in hoots and yells as we passed each other in the endless cycle of paddle turn ride, paddle turn ride. For a day without clean surf we found our oasis...
