Here comes the Waves!

Rounded the corner Monday mornin and the Bay greeted me with WAVES! Well so much for the dolphins and sure enough they swam right on by.LOL
The Winter waves of the North Shore are some of the most beautiful but scariest waves on the planet.
The Locals bring OUT the the BIG POLES and hope the Big fish like to surf!!=0)

One of the lifegaurds took his board out and caught some waves. You can just barely see him on the video. But you sure can hear the surf !



This weekend the water will be flat again and just maybe i will get to say goodbye to the dolphins. But on this day the ocean sent a small reminder to us all, HERE COMES THE WAVES!

I use to take my metal detector to the bay right after a storm...Found plenty...Storm waves would take about 6 inches of sand off the top at first and coins and rings would sometime be visible without the detector...fun hobby and clean the beach as well.

It sounds like your bay changes with the seasons. The local surfers must like the winter waves though, but I'm sure you get frustrated not being able to swim with your finned friends.

The Splash

Image
The water in the Bay has calmed down enough for me to swim into the big cave at the bay. I enter the crystal clear water of a little bay that's sits within the Big bay and made my way toward the cave. The tides are still high, the ocean not quite ready for the low low tides of summer. I enter the big cave that is still partially filled with water. The tide is pushing me in and out of the cool cave like a ride at the carnival! In and out... in and out of the cave, all the while I'm trying like crazy to get a picture from the inside of the cave looking out. It was on my 20Th trip with the tide back into the cave that I heard the splash behind me. Now, for me a splash behind me causes my heart to immediately start racing. Why? well when sharks feed they have a certain tail movement that causes a splash. I hear the splash and my brain goes into overdrive, "LANI", my brain screams, "DON'T look back,just swim to shore".. i feel my legs getting weak.. "LAN...

Swims with Scissors

The weather here on Oahu has been yucky for the last week so I was surprised yesterday the 15th to see that the breezes had returned , the sky was blue and when i checked the surf report the waves on the North shore had calmed way down. I ventured down to the turtle rock i had been having so much fun at. I had seen the turtle below on my first day at the turtle rock. He had gotten snagged in fishing line and it was all over his neck, head and flippers. It so upset me I got out of the water, hurried into the bustling, little beach town of Haleiwa, to get the number to the turtle hot line here on the island. When i got home I threw a pair of first aid scissors in my beach bag and made a mental note that if I saw a turtle who was in trouble I would do the best i could to help. I am not a professional and I know that good intentions are not always enough. You have to KNOW what you are doing. I could hurt a turtle more than help it so i needed to use my head. He was at the rock yesterday an...
