A monster = Pilikua nui.
Ghost = Lapu or Akua Lapu
Spirit = Wailua
Spirit of dead, kino wailua
Interestingly there is a town on the north shore named Wailua. I looked up the background and found no reason for the town name derived from something spiritual historically but I got this from Wikipedia
Waialua District on the island of Oʻahu, City & County of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 4,062.
Waialua was one of the six original districts of ancient Hawaii on the island, known as moku.[2] Waialua is a former (sugar) mill town and residential area, quite different in its quiet ambiance from nearby Haleʻiwa, which is more commercial and tourist-oriented. The Waialua Sugar Mill is the center of this town and the historical base of its plantation history.

90% of the music you here in the background is Created for the show produced by me and for the most part composed and performed by my friend across the sea in Venezuela, Luis Caldera and his music production company is LC Entertainment. He does a great job helping me take a tune from my head and make it a full-fledged song. I’ve sent piano progressions and guitar tabs, I even sang a song to get the tune He works his magic and delivers sonic satisfaction. Even if I’m a bit less inspired I can request genre and styles. Go to the show notes for a link to Luis’ Instagram and contact info. He’s a starving artist like me and just looking for his next gig. So of you have a project that needs music contact Luis Caldera of LC Entertainment in IG It @LCenterve
Two-week weather forecast for Hawaii:
Aloha, Hawaii! It’s time to talk story about the weather for the next two weeks, where the skies are almost as beautiful as your favorite beach and the breeze is just the right kind of salty. Let’s dive in!
Temperatures
•Highs and Lows: Expect daytime highs to hover between 83°F and 88°F (28-31°C), with the warmest days tipping into the upper 80s by the end of the week. Nighttime lows will settle comfortably between 68°F and 73°F (20-23°C). That’s perfect “keep-the-blanket-on-but-not-too-tightly” weather.
•Hottest Day: The hottest day is set to arrive next Tuesday, with a high of 88°F, when the sun will make you wish you brought that extra bottle of sunscreen.
•Coolest Night: The coolest night will sneak up on us this Sunday, dipping to 68°F. A light sweater might not go amiss—unless you’re wearing a Hawaiian shirt, in which case, you’re doing just fine.
Winds
•Direction: Trade winds will be blowing in from the northeast for most of the two weeks, keeping things fresh and breezy on the windward sides.
•Speed: Wind speeds will vary from a gentle 5 mph (8 km/h) to a stiff 20 mph (32 km/h), picking up in the afternoons and calming down at night.
•Windiest Day: Look out for next Thursday when the winds will reach speeds up to 20 mph, perfect for windsurfing, or just watching your hat fly away.
•Least Windy Day: Monday is shaping up to be the calmest, with breezes barely reaching 5 mph. It’s the kind of day where you can keep your beach umbrella up without worrying about a chase down the sand.
Precipitation
•Likelihood of Rain: There’s a 40-60% chance of showers over the next two weeks. Keep that umbrella handy, but don’t let it weigh you down—most of these showers will be light and quick, like a refreshing spritz.
•Patterns of Precipitation: The rain will mostly make its cameo in the early mornings and late afternoons, with a few overnight showers in the mountains. Coastal areas will see more sunshine than rain, but don’t be surprised if a rogue cloud decides to sprinkle a little aloha on you.
•Wettest Day: The wettest day is likely to be this Friday, with rain chances up to 70%, especially on the windward side. Good news: there’s always a rainbow to find.
•Driest Day: Saturday will be the driest day of the bunch, with rain chances dipping down to a mere 30%. It’s a great day to hit the beach, explore the trails, or just relax with a shave ice.
So there you have it, folks—two weeks of sun, fun, and just enough rain to keep the flowers blooming. Stay cool, stay dry (mostly), and remember, when in doubt, throw on some slippers and enjoy whatever the sky brings.

Here’s an astronomical forecast for the night sky in Hawaii over the next two weeks:
Welcome to your celestial update, where the night sky is ready to show off some cosmic wonders. Whether you’re gazing from a beachside hammock or a mountaintop, here’s what to expect up there in the stars.
Moon Cycle
•Current Phase: The moon is currently in its waning crescent phase, gradually slimming down as it prepares for the new moon.
•Current Moonrise and Moonset: The moon will rise around 4:30 AM and set around 4:00 PM. Early risers can catch that slender crescent lighting up the pre-dawn sky.
•Current Illumination: The moon is about 20% illuminated, and the glow will continue to fade each night until it becomes a thin, barely visible sliver.
•In Two Weeks: Fast forward two weeks, and we’ll be enjoying a waxing gibbous moon. By then, the moon will rise around 4:00 PM and set around 4:30 AM, with its illumination at 90%, shining brightly in the night sky.
Planetary Visibility
•Jupiter: This gas giant is the main attraction in the night sky, rising around 7:30 PM and remaining visible for most of the night. Look toward the east in the early evening and watch it climb high as the night progresses.
•Saturn: The ringed planet is already up in the sky by sunset, hovering in the southeast. It will set in the early hours of the morning, around 2:00 AM. Catch it while you can, as it’s a stunning sight through a telescope.
•Mars: The red planet is too close to the sun right now, making it challenging to spot. It’ll remain lost in the twilight glow for the next few weeks.
•Venus: The bright “evening star” is making an appearance just before sunrise, rising around 4:45 AM in the east. It’s shining brightly enough to catch your eye even in the dawn light.
•Mercury: This elusive planet will become visible near the end of the two weeks, peeking above the eastern horizon just before sunrise, though it will be a bit dim and challenging to see without binoculars.
Astronomical Note
Keep an eye out for the Orionid meteor shower, which peaks around October 21st. The Orionids are known for producing fast and bright meteors, originating from the debris of Halley’s Comet. With the moon in its waxing crescent phase during the peak, conditions should be good for viewing. If you’re lucky, you might catch 10-20 meteors per hour streaking across the sky in the direction of the constellation Orion, which rises in the east after midnight.
So there you have it—two weeks of lunar changes, planetary sightings, and a chance to wish upon a shooting star or two. Keep looking up, and remember, every night sky is a new adventure.

Here’s the surf report for the next two weeks:
Hang loose, surf enthusiasts! It’s time for the latest Surf Report, where the waves keep rollin’, and the vibes stay chill. Here’s what you can expect across the Hawaiian Islands.
Current Temperatures in Honolulu
•Air Temperature: It’s a pleasant 84°F (29°C) under the sun, perfect for a day on the beach.
•Water Temperature: The Pacific is warm and inviting at 79°F (26°C), so no wetsuit needed—just your board and some sunscreen.
Surf Forecast by Shore
•North Facing Shores:
The first signs of winter swells are making their way in, with 3-5 foot waves expected this week. By next week, the swell is set to rise to 5-8 feet, offering some exciting early-season action. Watch for sets coming from the northwest, especially in the afternoons when the wind picks up.
•South Facing Shores:
Surf is relatively mellow, with waves at 1-3 feet, but clean conditions will make for fun rides, especially in the mornings. The south shore will stay on the quieter side as we transition out of the summer swell season.
•East Facing Shores:
Steady trade swells will bring 2-4 foot waves with some choppy conditions due to the brisk northeast trade winds. Best times to surf will be early mornings before the wind picks up.
•West Facing Shores:
Expect smaller surf around 1-2 feet, with occasional bigger sets when the north swells start to wrap around. Good for beginners or anyone looking for a laid-back paddle.
Current Dive Conditions
•Visibility is fair, with waters being 15-25 feet clear on average. However, east-facing shores may experience lower visibility due to choppy surf and stronger currents from the trades.
•Best Dive Spots: Head to the leeward side (west) or sheltered bays for the calmest conditions and clearest water.
Marine Warnings
•A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the Alenuihaha Channel and waters near Maui due to 20-25 mph trade winds. Mariners should exercise caution.
•High Surf Advisory may be issued for north-facing shores next week if the anticipated winter swell materializes.
Upcoming Surf Contests
•HIC Pro at Sunset Beach on the North Shore will run during the last week of October, kicking off the surf contest season in style. This event serves as a qualifier for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, so expect some top talent in the lineup.
Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or just learning to balance on a board, there’s something for everyone in the waves. Stay safe, respect the ocean, and as always, surf’s up!
