Ah yes, Waimea Bay & BIG SURF....what a combo !! I remember from the early 80's ('82 I think) a 40-foot swell that came up out of the north. We sat on the cliffs in that picture watching the swells roll in while we ate freshly picked passionfruit. The whole North Shore was closed out that day...only surfers I saw were in Haleiwa Harbor, which had 8 foot breakers inside the seawall.
