THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
MARISSA HAS THE NIGHT OFF.
THIS IS ONE OF OUR SURF LINE
CAMERAS.
YOU CAN SEE THE SETS ROLLING IN.
ALL THE SURFERS ARE BATTLINGFOR
POSITION.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT
LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
TODAY.
ABSOLUTELY HUGE OUT THERE.
THERE WERE 34 RESCUES ON THE
NORTH SHORE.
68 RESCUES ON THE WEST SIDE.
THE MASSIVE NORTH SHORE SWELL,
BIGGER THAN EXPECTED, BEING
CALLED ONE OF THE BIGGEST ON
RECORD.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAD IN 2016.
THE SWELL ARRIVING YESTERDAY,
BUT THAT CHANGED OVERNIGHT.
VERY LARGE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT 40-45 FOOT
FACE VALUE.
BIGGEST WAVES I'VE EVER SEEN.
I'VE HAD COUSINS IN THE NAVY
THAT SERVED IN THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN.
QUITE AMAZING.
THIS WAS THE BE CHECKED 7
A.M. YESTERDAY.
HERE IS TODAY'S TAKEN AT THE S
AME SPOT AT THE SAME TIME.
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, WHERE
THOSE ROCKS ARE, THERE WAS A
MINI-BEACH UP UNTIL THIS
MORNING.
THE SWELL HAS COMPLETELY COVERED
THE AREA.
THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
SWELLS WE HAVE SEEN SINCE MAY BE
THE 1980'S.
THIS SHOULD FILL UP WITH SAND.
WITHIN TWO MONTHS, THIS WILL BE
A 200-300 FOOT WIDE BEACH.
THE FENCE BREAKING OFF AT
ROCK PILES OVERNIGHT DOWN THE
ROAD.
THE SEA SPRAY, COMPLETELY
COVERING THE NORTH SHORE.
THE MASSIVE SWELL DID NOT STOP
SURFERS.
LOTS OF SURFERS NEEDING
ASSISTANCE.
THERE WERE ABOUT 60 RESCUES
BY 4:00, MOSTLY INVOLVING
SURFERS.
AS WELL AS EXPECTED TO DROP ON
TUESDAY.
OCEAN SAFETY IS WARNING IT IS
STILL DANGEROUS.
THE SURF DOES NOT
DISCRIMINATE.
HOLDING BEGINS FOR THE
CONTEST ON DECEMBER 1.
BALDWIN BEACH PARK WILL BE
SHUT DOWN TOMORROW BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH SURF.
THE SURF IS MAKING CONDITIONS
DANGEROUS.
WE HAVE MORE ON THE SWELL AND
HOW LONG IT WILL STICK AROUND.
THE SWELL SHOULD START TO
DECLINE OVERNIGHT.
THESE ARE OPEN OCEAN WAVE HIKES.
ANYWHERE FROM 16 TO 14 TO 13
FEET.
THOSE WAVES BECOME EVEN LARGER.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE SEEING THOSE
40 FOOTERS MOVE THROUGH THE
NORTH SHORE.
THOSE SWELLS ARE SLOWLY
DECLINING ON TUESDAY.
THERE IS A HIGHER THAN NORMAL
TIDE TUESDAY MORNING.
WE WILL SEE THAT PEAK AND AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES, WE WILL SEE A
DECREASE IN SWELLS.
WESTSIDE, 15-20.
