Surf is up

I haven't written about the surfers since the first couple of days we were here. The waves for the past couple of weeks have been much smaller and the number of those who showed up to ride the smaller waves diminished markedly. There were always a couple when I went out to the lanai in the morning to write, but nothing like the first couple of weeks. I wondered if the season had changed and Spring was not the time for much action.

This all changed yesterday. We knew things were about to change again because the weather forecast included a high surf warning and the prediction that most of the beaches would be closed. This is exactly what the surfers want. The surf sounded much louder in the night and the morning brought lots of surfers and big waves. It is interesting how technology enables this sport. There are remote cameras on some beaches and apps for your phone that give lots of data some captured from distant buoys that report changes in conditions of the sea.

I put on my telephoto and took these pictures.
