This is just to the north of the harbor I normally launch out of. In July,


the ocean is 45' deep and calm at the reef break.




We used to body surf waves twice that high at Barbars Point in Hawaii!


Not twice that height,


more like 6 to 8 feet high.




I heard the north Shore in Hawaii was way to large to surf this week.

We'll have to ask Tim if he did any surfing.


LOL! No, I didn't do any of that. On the north shore of Kauai they were reporting 25+ ft.r's . And the beach there is a hard slope -the kind that lets the wave slap you right into the place,and if you're lucky it won't drag you out to roll you over again before it swallows you. It's not a good swimming place!
