From GrindTV - The biggest storm since 1969 has turned the entire North Pacific into a cauldron of ferocious ocean swell. It’s the last place in the world any boat would want to be. According to the latest buoy data the storm’s massive swells are heading straight toward Hawaii, where surf forecasters are predicting the biggest swell since 1969 to hit Monday through Wednesday. Some are calling this one off the charts.
But for a brave few, this swell is 40 years in the making, because most big-wave surf lore revolves around the massive swell of 1969, which was generated by an El Nino system. That's the year when Greg Noll was rumored to have ridden a 30-foot wave at Makaha. What transpires over the next few days could usurp that legend, especially if "The Eddie" goes off at Waimea Bay on Oahu's North Shore.
