Stick to sand homme!! There is a surge and your Auburn wave formula is way wrong. Banzai Pipeline the bigger the wave the shallower the water. Different bottom contour dictate wave shape and size as well as the swell duration and length of the swell. Today it was about 6-8 foot with a 10 foot bomb coming in every once in a while and it was breaking in about knee deep water. Oh yea Highway 98 on okedokie island is underwater! Dune fences everywhere. I have checked it at Blue Mountain, Ed Walline, Whales Tail and Pompano joes before I hit it at NCO Club what a zoo! That nice sugar white sand we use to have, gone forever or at least in our lifetime. Oh yea I also found this old map that shows the old Santa Rosa Inlet, I'm guessing it use to be around the Outlet Mall before man or Mother Nature filled it in. The bay used to be a HUGE coastal dune lake until man screwed it up!It will be a sight and don't take this the wrong way but you can't have a 12 foot wave in 5 feet of water, even though the WC neglects to tell you that. My point is that those waves will be offshore and be great for surfing, but the waves will break offshore and the water will likely only reach the dunes as there will be no associated storm surge.
