Hawaii: First decent swell of the winter - pics inside
There was a small buzz around town of decent surf coming. This storm was brought in JDM style coming from the South East of Japan. Very WNW.
We've had a few decent swells this winter already, but the sandbars and direction were not correct, yielding shifty peaks and too much inconsintancy.
I'll narate the pictures, though most of these shots were taken at Pipe from the beach. Swell size was picking up through the day as the tide came up letting some ropers get through the third and second reefs. Estimated size was 10-12ft Hawaiian Scale on the average sets and 15ft Hawaiian Scale on the larger ones that were breaking out on third reef.

Average set coming through. Notice the wave in the back had already broken? That is second reef. Taken at Banzai Pipeline, North Shore - Oahu, Hawaii

This is a shitty video taken of Bruce Irons dropping in at Pipe. Should give you a bit of perspective as to how big the surf is right now. Enjoy. Right Click - Save As.

Sorry everyone. I thought I posted this in the GDD. I already contacted 'the mods' to have it moved to it's appropriate spot. Sorry!

do you surf? or just take pics?
if you do surf then that looks like so much fun.
I can't wait to surf in hawaii, I'm going this summer, boards and all
swells don't get that big here in central cali
but some times we get 10-12 foot waves

Re: (iperez)
WoW!!! Awesome Pix man!
That just makes me miss Hawaii even more. My wife and I went to Maui on our Honeymoon this summer and now all we can think about is finding jobs in Hawaii so that we can move there. I thought the waves were huge on the North side of Maui in June, doesn't compare to that!
I wonder if that turtle has my original wedding band. I lost my first one looking at one of those bastards while snorkeling 3 days after our wedding....haha. At least my wife laughed about it
