- Sigh . I was there a couple weeks ago. There was a big storm off to
- the northwest so the whole island was going off. Makapuu (home base)
- was closed to swimmers, Waimanolo, instead of being completely flat,
- was an unprecedented 1-2 with 3 foot sets, and the beach break at
- Waimea was 8-10. Unfortunately, the surf break at the right shoulder
- of Waimea (where the big wave classic is held?) looked about the same
- size as the beach break but that might have been because I was
- watching it from a quarter mile away. I didn't jump off the big rock
- either.

- Here in Pittsburgh, the Monongahela is flat with occasional 1 foot
- sets due to a passing barge.
