That’s right: the current (and popular) “hawaiian scale” of downgrading wave height by half was started by a californian, obviously a good deal more egotistical than any local island surfer.
The Tale Of A Travelling Surfboard Lost In Hawaii Found In Philippines Hawaiian scale is an expression of the height of a wind wave affecting water. it is the expression conventionally used by surfers in hawaii and is also used [clarification needed] in australia and parts of south africa. the expression, always given in feet, is a scaled figure corresponding to roughly half the actual measured or estimated height. But in hawaii, there are only two sizes of waves: two foot and six foot. two feet accommodates any wave face measuring eight feet (or less) in california east coast terms. beyond eight feet, the. For days when waves are so large that sunset beach is closed out (h1 10 > 15 hawaii scale, or 30' peak face), the heights represent zones of high refraction on outer reefs. the visual surf observation database is approaching 50 years in length and has been the basis for various surf research projects. this set of daily visual surf observations. Two years later, mike ho, who had been riding these in hawaii, asked me to sneak a couple into masons fall ’16 quiver. we sent them over last month, and mason used a 6’7” swallow tail “trouble shooter” with four deep channels “radiating” out the tail, to win the hic sunset beach 3000 last week.
