> are these waves surfable? how often does this happen? I think it would be bad-ass to surf lake erie with 15 foot faces. What are the chances of this size waves coming around during warm months? I might have to bring up my JC board sometime…

.

probably not. They are probably the sloppiest waves possible with winds like that.

When trade winds picked up a bit when I was in Hawaii it made conditions pretty shitty. And i’m talking about winds that weren’t as bad as that last night.
