Surfline Called This The Best Ever Dawn-To-Dusk Paddle Day At Mavs
Can you blame them?
The same storm that provided stellar waves for the opening days of Honolua, the Pipe Invitational, and the Pipe Masters, was actually better directed toward California. Far be it from us to explain how swells work in the ocean, but we do know that if Jaws doesn’t (really) break and Maverick’s was—according to industry-leading surf forecasting site, Surfline—”arguably the best dawn-to-dusk paddle day ever,” then it was probably an unusual storm track.
And Surfline’s claim wasn’t just a hyperbolic whim. As if the 40-50 faces and all-day offshores weren’t enough to convince us, Surfline consulted Grant Washburn before typing the fateful words “best” and “ever”.
