Homegrown Report
“Hawaiian” Joe Udell
The transition from winter to spring on the East Coast is determined by the temperature;
in Hawaii, the waves dictate the season. Late March to early April brings the unexpected
to Hawaii’s waves, but fear not. Oahu has something for everyone.
North Shore: Don’t pack up those short boards just yet, there’s plenty of big wave surfing
to be had. Expect as high as 10 foot waves on Oahu’s most beautiful stretch of beach.
West Shore: A great alternative to the huge waves up north. Ranging from 3-6 feet, these
waves are powerful but still surfable for the experienced rider.
East Shore: A mixed bag of waves. With waves varying from flat to 3 feet, it might be a
good idea to bust out the body board, save for those occasional 3 footers.
South Shore: With waves in the 2-4 foot range, long board season looks like it is coming
a little early to Honolulu. Beat the summer rush and hit up your favorite South Shore
spot. The waves will be there.
I like the intro and the report…I’d like to see some type of 1-2 sentence conclusion with
some humor about the lack of surfing around here or something to that extent. Joe, use
your humor with this, I’m sure you can come up with something funnier than me.
