The advisory is why we checked out Richardsons today... the beach area is north/Northwest facing, & does not seem to be picking up the swells, but beyond the rock protection it is really choppy. The surf was not unusually large for Richardsons, closer to 4 ft., but was very choppy & sloppy. The waves pounding the shoreline north of Hilo made that whole coast area white with waves & spray.... so your side was getting all of the fun!
For the picnic & gathering, the main areas are fairly dry (considering the weather we have had!) and the beach area was actually fairly mild.... not a lot of wave action right up in Richardsons' shore today...
