O'ahu — North Shore — Waimea Shorebreak

January 9, 2001. 1630 local time. 17º35'31.5" S 149º36'52.6" W. Moored at Ala Wai Marina.

What a fantastic day! Jim and I walked from Waimea to Sunset Beach to check out the huge surf along the North Shore. It was so big that Pipeline and Sunset were unsurfable-except for a few tow in spots way outside. We rode The Bus back to Waimea to watch the shorebreak put on it's impressive show as the sun set beyond Keana Point.
