  • My guess is they were between the north and south inlets for the power plant, looking south. A rough trangulation from the beach, over the rocks, to the wave in back seems like a wave of 16ft. the rocks are usually at least 8ft above the water, and the wave is cresting so you can see it over the top of the rocks. At 00:22 you can see a srufer paddling into the wave. I go by the 'body parts' method of wave measurement. I would say a it's ways more than double overhead, though not really triple.

  • 16ft.

  • Just stating my opinion.

    And what are you on?

  • what the fuck are you on

  • Tamarack it looks like. Big for that spot. Gets big and rideable on a nice south swell. I'd say 12ft, maybe 16ft on that set behind the rocks at :22 seconds. Fun beach to ride when it's not closed out.

  • ok dont believe me. but if you could see it for yourself around winter time.. :)

  • no. just no

  • it doesnt even get that big in hawaii

  • dude im sorry but it doesnt even get that big in hawaii
