    HALEIWA, Hawaii (AP) — Surf's up on Oahu's famed North Shore, where crowds have been flocking to watch the largest waves of the winter season.

    A high surf warning is in effect Wednesday for north and west facing shores across Hawaii.

    Waves along Oahu's North Shore were expected to reach 30 feet Wednesday. Forecasters say the surf will lower to 10 to 18 feet by the evening and 6 to 12 feet Thursday.

    Officials warned beachgoers to stay out of the water, but KHON-TV reports a bodysurfer needed to be rescued at Waimea Bay Wednesday morning. He was not hurt.

      You'd think that somebody from the AP would snap a picture to go with the story......just saying.

      So are we to assume that Yahoo is too cheap to send a photographer to Oahu to snap a pic for this story? When you know a picture is in order and you don't have one, but you print the story anyway, what does that say about your journalistic standards?

      I love the picture to the story....why even post a message about something like that and not put up a picture to validate it?Do you expect all of your audience to pack bags and go see it personally?You seem to have forgotten one picture is worth a thousand words...I guess you dont have any crayons either...you at least could have gotten some third graders to draw a picture ...dont you bozos have an editor? If you do, they are slacking in their job.

      I never understood what water could do until I visited Hawai'i. The smaller waves at Makena Beach on Maui kicked my butt all over the place. I would love to see the HUGE waves on Oahu!

      GREAT PICTURES, love yahoo they make you wonder if reporter went to school.
    • Terence  •  Lansing, Michigan  •  4 mths ago
      With no photos, is it any wonder Yahoo is in deep trouble? Hey, new CEO (no photo) hire someone who knows what the hell they are doing.
    • Esteban  •  New Orleans, Louisiana  •  4 mths ago

      If only there were some type of technology whereby we too could see these waves...
