Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 5 December, 2009 : - - North Shore, Hawaii - Big surf was rolling into Waimea Bay on the 40th Anniversary of the biggest surf ever to hit the Hawaiian Islands. The Eddie Aikau event Invitees & alternates had solid a 18- to 20-foot warmup swell at Waimea Bay this-morning, just a touch undersize for the event to run.
Eyes are on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - all three days are forecast to exceed the event's required minimum threshold of 20 feet. NWS reports that swell will build early Monday and continue into Tuesday and Wednesday with open ocean swell heights exceeding 22 feet. This will translate to wave heights of 30 feet or higher at North Shore surf spots.
