Winter Swells Hitting the North Shore

Aloha Kanes and Wahines,
 It's more of the same today, from yesterday afternoon, gray clouds and some badly needed Ua.Helps the plants and the dry ground soak up some needed moisture to help the island stay green.Still hot, but we love the rain as long it doesn't get carried away by raining for 40 days and nites.As I was saying yesterday about the different action going on around Hawaii's beaches.I left out talking story about the one and only Sandy Beach break.If you continued your trek heading northward towards Kaneohe and as you travel maybe 3 miles from Sandy's towards Sea Life Park(tourist attraction).You will run smack dab into Makapu Lighthouse and the Makapu beach look-out.A very beautiful  view of some thick rolling heavy-duty waves.Breaking from far outside in thedeep blue ocean, all the way into the sparkling white sand on shore.Truly a body boarding and body surfers dream come true.Pretty dangerous stuff, but worth the risk.Heading further north thru Kaneohe,past Kualoa,past Hauula,on thru Kahuku, breeding grounds for most of the islands favorite football sons that get drafted into NFL Football league.Finally hitting the monstrous,man-eating, surfboard crunching, spectacular,world famous surf break, called Sunset Beach.Most of the surf contest held during the winter surf season is held there.This break is a sight to behold.Definitely worth the plane ticket people pay to visit this island.Starting from Sunset Beach towards Haleiwa Town heading Kaena Pt. direction there are many different surf spots.Beware of all of them, because the whole North-Shore wreaks of dangerous rip-currents,undertow,and severe powerful waves,unlike any other surf spots on this island.About two surf spots heading west away from Sunset there is the famous Banzai Pipeline.Spooking ,steep,hollow,fast moving,perfectly round,very shallow,totally awesome waves breaking to the delight of surfers and spectators.This break really seperates the men from the boys.Next stop for most people is Waimea Bay,the parking lot is too small, so most people circle the lot to try and get a spot sometime getting bent out of shape trying to park.During the winter the waves are really quite large and pretty rough to ride ,unless you can be there when the off-shore conditions are right and the waves are 20ft plus.Summer time there is no action there,so everyone jumps off the famous Waimea Bay rock to cool off and have fun.As you past several other known spots you come to Haleiwa Beach and Alii Beach surf spot near the boat harbor entrance. Here the waves continuosly pump,giving surfers and those watching an adrenaline rush trying to keep up with all the energy output this place has to offer.Lot's of action for the young ones on the inside as well as the veterans on the huge outside ocean breaks.Lastly ,my favorite is before I leave the country. I like to go to Matsumoto's ,if crowded I go to Aoki's for my favorite refreshing,ono-licious,sweet comfort treat, large size rainbow shave-ice with icecream,azuki beans and a cream snowcap.What more can a person ask for in life.Take care and ALOHA!!!
