BIG PICTURE for WEDNESDAY, JULY 1
NPAC: A small low under 1000 miles North track NNE on Monday may lead to isolated 3' NNE swells Thursday into Friday. This is also why Trades are totally slacking. A weak area of troughiness just east of the 180 dateline which tracks east this weekend then NE up into the eastern Aleutians. There should be a small fetch of winds to push out a chest high NW on Monday 7/6. SPAC The 1st source for early July swell spawned this past Tues/Wed 6/23-24 a few hundred miles off the east coast of NZ. It had a wide fetch with some 40kts and up to 28' seas. its here, Wednesday July 1 at solid 2-4' SSW with the chance of higher sets. the 2nd cyclone/fetch is again right off NZ on Thursday/Friday 6/26; it was broader and stronger plus, hovers for 2 or 3 days allowing the for more fully developed fetch seas of 35'. This cyclone should push out some easy 6' SSW Friday and start fading Saturday. There's also some minor 3' SSE adding into the mix. Next in line: a storm off the north top of NZ, another straight south and one to the SSE below French Polynesia on July 1 keeping us at least 3' the 9th thru July 10th. the Fetch south of us is the one with the most potential for over head swell from Thursday or Friday July 9-10. last but not least on Friday 7/3 a new spinner whips up some 45kts and looks to 'hover' allowing for full seas of 30+' ETA for a overhead South is Saturday 7/11.

JOKERS:
It’s been reported that Gov. Sanford’s mistress was a reporter for an Argentinean news channel. This makes Sanford just the latest Republican to claim he got screwed by the media.
Earlier today Sanford apologized to his Cabinet for having the affair with an Argentinean woman. In response, his Cabinet members said, “An apology is not good enough — we want photos.”

Regional Discussion & Forecast The surface pressure field, in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, remains weak as the remnants of a deteriorating weather system are proving difficult to dislodge from the ocean waters north of the island chain. Therefore another day or two of a land/sea breeze regime will likely dominate surface flow across the state. Trades should return this weekend but are not expected to become particularly active until early next week (Monday, most likely) as the responsible surface high forming north of the state will be slow in intensifying. Stronger and fairly moist trades are projected to be back in place across all of Hawaii by the middle of next week.
