Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Hawaii is renowned for its massive waves, especially during the winter season. Here are some key points about watching big waves in Hawaii:
Best Spots for Wave Watching:
Waimea Bay, Pipeline, and Sunset Beach on Oʻahu’s North Shore are ideal for observing large swells. These spots handle waves as big as 20 to 30 feet, attracting brave surfers who tackle them with their bodies and boards.
Jaws (Pe’ahi) on Maui’s North Shore is the biggest, heaviest, and gnarliest wave in Hawaii.
Photographers: Bring a telephoto lens to capture close-up shots of surfers and dramatic wave crests.
Safety Precautions:
Stay Away from Shorebreak: Going near the shoreline can be dangerous due to unexpected rogue sets. Keep a safe distance from the water to avoid compromising your safety and that of rescue teams1.
Early or Late Sessions: For the cleanest wave-watching conditions, go early in the morning before the wind picks up on the North Shore.
