north shore waves

We've ben in the middle of a storm this week, Bryce and I went to sunset last night and I tried to get pictures of the waves to show how crazy it was...almost half the beach was gone! theyve closed almost all beaches and wont let people swim and a few nights ago there were a few helicopters out patrolling making sure no one was swimming.

Waimea bay, where most tourists go is usually pretty smooth. I'm sure you've all seen pictures of it. it's where everyone goes to jump off the rock...ANYWAY every few years when Hawaii has a big storm like they are now there is a surf competition...the eddie aikau...its a surf competition that only happens when waves in waimea bay are 40-6o feet!! so...check out this link look at those waves! we wanted to go see the waves there last night but the traffic was so bad...
