3 A huge northwest swell rolled in on Sunday, generating waves with 45-60 ft face heights. In fact, on Oahu's North Shore the conditions were just right to hold the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational Surf Contest, popularly just called "The Eddie", for the first time in 7 years. Over 50,000 spectators crammed the shoreline to watch The Eddie, but we were on Kauai so we went to check out the surf at Hanalei Pier and what a show it was! 🌊🌊👀 Normally completely flat and placid, Hanalei Bay was rocking and rolling! The beach itself was closed as too dangerous due to rogue waves and only ocean safety patrols were out on sea-doos. Local surfers standing near us were chatting how several people they knew got sliced and diced pretty badly earlier in the day.

15 It's been pretty cool, rainy, and misty on the North Shore. Last night was the first semi-decent view of Mt. Makana (aka Bali Hai) at sundown.
