wednesday is going to be big plain and simple!!! from the looks of the maps it may be an episodic event with the largest waves seen since THE outer log cabins day. i thought i'd start a topic on it to see what everyone thinks and i'll post any info i get as i track this system.

A SERIES OF STORMS IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC...THE SAME STORMS
FORCING THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE ISLANDS...WILL SEND LARGE
NORTHWEST SWELLS TO THE ISLANDS THROUGH THE WEEK. THE FIRST SWELL
WILL ARRIVE TONIGHT AND PRODUCE SURF VERY CLOSE TO THE NORTH SHORE
WARNING LEVEL OF 25 FEET. THIS SWELL IS EXPECTED TO REACH BUOY
51001 SHORTLY...AND WE WILL BE MONITORING THE SITUATION. IN ANY
CASE...A HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED THIS AFTERNOON FOR THIS
EVENT ON THE NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES.

A VERY LARGE NORTHWEST SWELL WILL FOLLOW ON TUESDAY NIGHT. THE
STORMS GENERATING THE SWELL ARE DEVELOPING TODAY WITH AN UNUSUALLY
LONG FETCH OF NORTHWEST WINDS AIMED TOWARDS THE MAIN HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS. THIS IS DEVELOPING AS THE MODELS HAVE FORECAST. SURF WELL
ABOVE THE WARNING THRESHOLD OF 25 FEET WILL BUILD TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY ALONG NORTH FACING-SHORES OF THE ISLANDS. WARNINGS WILL
ALSO BE NEEDED FOR WEST-FACING SHORES OF KAUAI AND OAHU. WE ARE
WATCHING THIS SWELL VERY CLOSELY SINCE THE SURF MAY BE LARGE ENOUGH
TO WASH OVER ROADS AND DAMAGE PROPERTY ALONG THE SHORELINE. THE
SWELL WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE BELOW WARNING LEVELS BY THURSDAY...BUT
ANOTHER SWELL MAY SEND SURF ABOVE WARNING LEVELS AGAIN FRIDAY.

Shit, I'm getting nervous already. Here's an article about Big Wednesday '98 http://starbulletin.com/98/01/29/news/story5.html I'm the "body boarder was recovered at 12:20 p.m. at Laniakea." Don't believed everything you read. They sent a helicopter out to yell at me and I came in on my own.

This episode is not expected to be as high as January 28, 1998, which reached around 27 feet at buoy 51001. This episode is modelled to reach around 22 feet at this buoy, which will allow fine-tuning of the forecast as the swells roll underneath. In any regards, the surf should be in the giant levels with a peak between dawn to mid afternoon on Wednesday for Oahu. The direction should be centered on 315 plus or minus 10 degrees.
