HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Big crowds flocked to Oahuâs North Shore, drawn by the sight of massive surf.
Lt. John Hoogsteden of Honolulu Ocean Safety said the swells on Saturday were the biggest they have seen in several years.
With a high surf warning issued, Honolulu Ocean Safety taped off all beaches.
âWe have waves that are in the traditional scale, 20-25 foot at least maybe even a little larger waves,â said Hoogsteden. âWave faced heights are probably in the 40-60 foot waves, again, itâs not a day for any recreational activity.â
