Lineup
at Waimea Bay
Famous big wave surf break with the largest surfable
waves on the North Shore. Between 4-10 foot it
breaks next to the inside rocks and is considered
"pinballs." It starts breaking on the
outside boil in the middle of the bay around 10-12
foot, but big wave veterans don't consider Waimea
to be "real" until its 18-20 feet, and
waves of up to 25-30 foot have been ridden at
"The Bay."
There are about 5 different webcams these days
in the church above the bay.

from the mountain above the Valley.
Be sure to plan accordingly before heading out to Waimea...you'll want to stay out there the whole day to avoid traffic and maybe check out a popular Hawaiian luau in Laie.
There is a buoy located about a mile outside of the bay, it is used to predict really big waves coming through, or current conditions. |
