This is the video (by Damien Girardin) that shows the same wipeout.
A couple of more Jaws shots by Jeffrey Zerkle.
Makes you wonder if it's the same guy as above.
This is a frame grab (of a frame grab) of the Youtube streaming that Surfline organized for this swell. They had a camera on the chopper at Jaws and used the Waimea webcams too. At 1:21 there's some footage of Oahu's outer reefs and this might be a massive barrel of John John Florence.
This is the link to a video of a bunch of Kai Lenny's tow in waves. I wish I had some photos of Honolua... here's how Little Makaha looked like.
6am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
9.2ft @ 15s from 295° (WNW)
Waimea
11.4ft @ 17s from 317° (NW)
Pauwela
13ft @ 17s from 320° (NW)
Below is the graph of Pauwela showing that the giant swell peaked yesterday afternoon. It's not going to small by any means today, just a smaller than yesterday and on the decline, but Hookipa and most north shore spots still too big to be surfed. Seek for sheltered spots, there should be no wind all morning. Honolua was firing yesterday and there will be waves (but with less favorable winds) also today.
Wind map at noon .The other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column (click on animation of the 10 meter column).
