Checking one of my fav sites (hawaiisurfnews.com):
North Kona 6 - 10 building WNW
I haven't really been on for the last few days because it is my real winter time.
Tuesday I went to Kua Bay (alot of people come here on vacation) and it was monstrous. Consistant 8-12 feet, with occasionals up to 20 feet WAY out back. I went with 2 of my cousins and a good friend, and nobody believes we went out to try and bodyboard :P. We were the only 4 people who even attempted to go into the water the whole day, nobody else even tried.
Wed. I just watched, it was a bit bigger than tuesday, but I had to go to school, and by the afternoon the water was blown out and getting rough and unridable.
Today was supposed to be the biggest day of the swell. Me and my friends planned to go back to Kua bay, but decided to go to Hapuna (great beach, hotel is right there, anyone who has been here probably went to this beach). Once we all met up and got ready to head ut, we got the info on every break. EVERY beach is closed. Cops are at the entrances to the main beaches, others had tractors push boulders into the roads so you cannot get in. Cops cleared out every beach with people, and they even closed the main beach road. Water was washing debris everywhere, and the waves were huge. Solid 14-20ft. sets. Me and my friends ended up watching a spot called tunnels, and we were amazed. There were about 6 bodyboarders and 1 longboarder out there. I saw some of the fastest riders I've ever seen :P These guys were coming down 18 foot waves, deeply barreled, and just shooting across the shore, skipping on the water the whole time. One guy broke a leash on his 2nd wave, swam in (huge surf, rocky shoreline, shallow reef. I don't know how he swam in), grabbed his board and went out again. He was riding drop knee on 20 foot waves like it was nothing.
On an even crazier note, The North Shore of O'ahu should be in the 35-40+ range right now :P
I know it's worthless without pics, but I will be taking pics tomorrow, I'm going to the beach from 6 till 7 (am to pm :P)
