Reef Hawaiian Pro, first jewel in the Vans Triple Crown, runs November 12th - 23rd at Haleiwa, Oahu. The forecast is calling for a Solid NW swell rapidly building into the North Shore on Sunday the 14th and peaks over Sunday night before starting to back down Monday the 15th. Expect plenty of well overhead surf for Haleiwa Sunday through at least Tuesday with double to triple overhead sets (10-15’+ faces) showing late Sunday and Monday. Furthermore, excellent conditions are likely during this swell with light ESE trade winds. More good NW groundswells are lining up for the middle and second half of next week as well.
Stu Kennedy starts in the round of 96 and Adam Melling kicks off his Hawaiian campaign in the round of 64. Anthony Walsh surfs in the round of 128. Good luck fellahs.
