We're seeing 2 -4 today. Not much higher than that for the next few days. The other side of the island may get some big ones. Might be a good time to go camp out at Jaws.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

My bet is this is the story of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

How does one camp out at Jaws?

Watch the surf reports. If Jaws is projected to be up, head over late on the day before. Otherwise, you may be looking at a five mile hike. The crowds and traffic are huge when Jaws gets big surf.

I think what may be confusing some Floridians is that in Hawai'i, "Jaws" is a beach, not an extinct attraction.

Jaws is the surf break. The beach is Peahi.
The break was named after the film Jaws due to its unpredictability like a shark attack.

I know some guys that have surfed there. That's as close as I've gotten.
