What the swell looked like at creation
This swell was a 290 degree swell on the dateline, south of the
tail of the Aleutians. It was intense at 960 mBar for about 12
hours without great fetch. The winds indicated a very narrow
region of 50-60 knot winds. Swell hit with 25 and 20 second
energy at 6-8 foot. Swells were sparse, and the paddle was VERY
easy, even in the middle of the beach. Sets bombed in on Sunday
Oct 14th at double overhead 15 ft faces - totally macking.
