North Shore Forecast: High Surf

The 10 o'clock news last night was all abuzz about the surfing conditions for today and tomorrow on the North Shore of Oahu. The North Shore is famous, justifiably so, for its world-class surfing--considered one of the best areas for big wave surfing in the world.

Anyway, back to the news: The forecast was for 12-15 foot waves today, and even larger ones tomorrow, since a storm is moving across the Pacific towards Hawai'i and due to hit Sunday night (we leave Saturday afternoon). This morning, Suzie and I drove the Kamehameha Highway up to the North Shore and the waves had definitely brought their A-game. The waves were pretty strong, so only the hardiest surfers were out on their boards. We enjoyed sitting in the sun, watching the show on the water.
