Beautiful day for surfing at Diamond Head…light variable winds, knee high peelers, and lots of people! The shore break was more fun, however.

Unusually tiny shore break for December in the Country

Fun and soft rolling waves

Photos from Day 2 of the Pipeline Masters on Oahu’s North Shore. Waves were treacherous in the 8-12 foot range highlighted with big barrels and tons of broken boards.

Huge 12-15 foot surf (Hawaiian scale) pounded the North Shore today for the first day of the Pipeline Masters. The Pipe Masters is the 3rd and final jewel of the Triple Crown of Surfing. Wave faces up to 30 feet provided spectacular barrels, scary wipeouts, and numerous broken boards.

Misc Shots

A rare scene at Pipeline and Off the Wall on Oahu’s North Shore. An empty lineup. Large and stormy surf created dangerous conditions and unridden waves.

2nd jewel of the Triple Crown of Surfing at Sunset Beach. The surf was macking today, 10-15 feet Hawaiian with stormy and challenging conditions.

Located on the south eastern corner of Oahu, Sandy Beach is home to some of the best and most dangerous body surfing waves in Hawaii. Waves generated by both East and South swells come from deep water and abruptly break on an extremely shallow sandbar. The deep water just beyond the break creates a ramp for waves to pitch hard onto dry sand creating some of the most hollow barrels you’ll find in Hawaii. Tourists and novices should avoid boogie boarding or body surfing at Sandy’s as this beach has the highest incidence of neck injuries in the nation. Numerous pro and highly experienced body boarders and body surfers have broken necks and some even killed. Nevertheless, this wave creates ‘unreal’ photo opportunities with the Halona Blowhole just in the background.
