Ginx snewx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 For those with a wave fetish (Ginx looking at you), the Eddie Aikau is a go today out in Hawaii. NW Hawaii buoy reporting 24 foot swell every 17 seconds (read: powerful), translating to 35-45 footers over the reef break. They only hold this tourney when waves are consistently over 30 feet in Waimea Bay (8 times since 1984). 2016-02-25_16-17-14.png That's someone catching a wave, and you might be able to see in the top left of the wave a surfer riding over it. Assuming his board is around the average 7 feet in length, that face is every bit of 30+. Oh I have been watching just don't post about surf much here , mostly snow ski weenies around but have friends who are into it and we text stuff https://vine.co/v/i6JKhiVVm7j https://twitter.com/hashtag/EddieWouldGo?src=hash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Oh shi t Nothing like a 3 story fall to wake you up in the morning. That must be the Twiggy wipeout I've seen mention of. Kid decided to jump into the tourney after riding a few warm up waves before the event kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Wow That was great, two riders on that last set. I really think HNL would be a fascinating WFO to work for. Easy temp forecasts, but a lot riding on small scale trade wind showers and wave forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I just want to ride my new skimobile once up in Stinson Lake, NH. I give it a 50/50 shot there's a good weekend from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Pretty cool to get that record cold amidst an otherwise torch winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Pretty cool to get that record cold amidst an otherwise torch winter. Coldest absolute temps in almost 6 decades is pretty impressive. Coldest February temps in over 8 decades. At least at many of the stations down in SNE. I know NNE didn't quite get the core of that shot unless we include maybe central and southern VT to S NH. It's historically very rare to have such an intense single cold shot in an otherwise overall mild winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's historically very rare to have such an intense single cold shot in an otherwise overall mild winter. The core was definitely centered SW of NNE. Ensemble anomalies had that pegged for several days leading up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I just wanted to let you guys know that after 3 years of unemployment, and 100's of resumes and applications I have finally landed a job...a good one. Many of you have known the struggles I faced of trying to get my own business's going during these 3 years, but the money being made was no where near enough to survive. Such is the nature of where I live and the field of work that I went to school for. As a licensed architect, there just is not a huge need for my services here. Trying to sell real estate has been helpful but again, not survivable income. Hopefully this will be a positive in what was a sea of negative for so long.
