The home of surfing. Pipeline, Sunset Beach, Waimea, Jaws. Big big waves.
World class surf.
The above pretty much sums up Hawaii. You have not made it as a world class
surfer if you have not made it on the North Shore. Look in any international
surfing magazine and it will not take you too long to find a picture of a
Hawaiian wave. It is a place truly blessed with top quality waves and swell.
Each of the Hawaiian islands gets its share of the huge swells generated from
October to March, but undoubtedly the North Shore is the place that receives the
most attention. The location of its breaks makes surfing a fantastic spectator
sport. Pipeline seems to breaks right off the beach, its almost like you are in
the line up. Hawaii receives numerous swells from October to March, generated
from deep lows tracking across the North Pacific. The swells can be anywhere in
the region of 10-30ft - now that is big surf. That said, the North Shore is
often flat, but when it is going off there are large crowds, huge crowd pressure
and localism. Respect has to be earned. A surf trip to Hawaii will be better
spent away from the North Shore as there are no shortage of spots and less
crowding elsewhere. The other side of the islands see frequent 3-8ft waves so
you will not be missing out too badly.
