The Big Ones are Back! (Oahu’s North Shore Big Waves)

Oahu’s North Shore is famous for big waves that attract expert surfers from across the world.  It is common to have 20 foot waves during the winter months on Oahu.  The big surf can be extremely hazardous for those who aren’t expert surfers, so don’t get any ideas that you are going to teach yourself how to surf at Sunset Beach or Waimea Bay in the winter. In this situation, I’m happy to just be a spectator. 

Take a virtual tour to see the recent (end of November 2007) big wave action as reported by KITV via YouTube.

  • Kailani, that is so cool that you can easily check out the waves.

    There are so many things in Hawaii that I can only stand in awe of...and the big waves are one of them. I just love God's creation!
