Did you watch the video? I know it wasn't xxxl surf but I consider head high to be level with a 5'8" to 6'0" tall surfer.Duffy said:
The vast majority of those waves were head high to a couple feet over head. That is not big.silentbutdeadly said:
I don't think it's a "dire warning."Duffy said:
It's a high-surf warning, which is a National Weather Service thing, more geared to boaters than surfers.
A high surf advisory on the south shore is for 8-foot (faces) surf. A high surf warning is anything 15-foot faces or bigger.
On the North Shore, it's 15-foot+ for a high surf advisory and 25-foot+ for a high surf warning.
There were definitely some waves on south-facing shores that had 15-foot faces on Sunday, which is big for Town. But this would be a fairly typical North Shore swell during the winter. There are, however, a lot of South Shore surfers that have no interest in surfing North Shore waves.
Interestingly, there are a lot of north shore guys that I know who refuse to surf South Shore. They basically treat surfing like Skiing. They surf all fall, Winter, and Spring. Once the waves go flat in the summer they move to their other hobbies until the north swells start up again.craigj532 said:
Saw a bunch of North Shore folks at Bowls the past few days including Michael and Derek Ho, Flynn Novak, Gavin Beschen, and others.Muscles said:
Here's Flynn on a fun one.
Rule of thumb from previous eras. If the wave breaks on the buoy it’s 8 feet. If it breaks outside of the buoy just depends. But I think the channel is shallower from all the years of run off and it closes out at a smaller size. It was the biggest south swell so far. It wasn’t perfect but plenty of size and waves. Super good summer so far.
Toward the end of the vid it’s me getting a quick tube on the inside bowl while the guy on the sailboat is watching.
