The big waves have their origin thousands of miles away and they traveled past the Hawaiian Islands on their way to San Diego.
These waves did come by way of Hawaii. But they started much farther away. The waves have their origin in a storm off the coast of New Zealand. That was more than a week ago. This weekend, they made their way to the Hawaiian islands, where they made for happy surfers, but unhappy wedding guests. One huge wave crashed over a seawall and wiped out a buffet meal being enjoyed at a wedding party.About two days later, they arrived on our shores.
“It appears we had a combination of a southern hemisphere storm, a winter storm — which sounds weird I know — and a hurricane, Darby. Both of those had a big impact on Hawaii on Sunday. They had reports of up to 15 feet on the big island," he said. He said the “solid” surf might stick around until Thursday. Then, it’s back to the relatively gentle San Diego surf and memories of an unusual mix of conditions that, for a brief time, turned San Diego beaches into a surfer’s paradise.
