Code Red 2: Big Swell on the South Shore, Oahu Hawaii
"Charts are going off, this south swell is predicted at 4-6 ft and 17-21 secs on Saturday and peaking at 8-12 ft at 17-19 secs on Sunday" - Surfline.
Sounds big? you bet! This historic swell arrived during the weekend of July 16-17, 2022 and we were lucky enough to be able to witness and document it.
Friday was a bit smaller, with 2-4ft swell and building up. Saturday was all time and pumping.
Both pros and amateurs showed up for this historic swell
Barrels for days
amazing how these guys can get in the barrel really deep
Some old timers showed up too.

Not everyone made the drop. In this guy's case, pin-drop.
New found respect for these guys.
