PHOTOS: Swells Increase As Surf Season Begins
By Madeline M. Ziecker
As the swells begin to pick up on Maui’s north shore, surfers are heading out to popular surf spots Pa’ia Bay and Ho’okipa for an early start to the surf season.
On Wednesday, September 21, many local surf reports estimated north shore front-facing waves well below 8 feet, but in the later afternoon, Ho’okipa had waves up to 10 feet high. Some sets were smaller than others, but surfers were willing to wait for the bigger sets that eventually came.
Surfers are expected to see plenty of action through the weekend, as swells increase later in the day on Saturday.
