High Surf — Oahu, Hawaii

2001-11-08 to 2001-11-09 · Oahu, Hawaii

Wider weather episode

A deep storm low far northwest of the state produced surf of 15 to 25 feet , with some sets as high as 30 feet, along the north- and northwest-facing shores of all the islands. A woman was swept out to sea by the pounding surf on the north shore of Oahu around 1 P.M. on the 8th, and she presumably drowned.
