Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA swell from a powerful low far northwest of the Aloha State generated surf of 25 to 50 feet along the north-facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and Maui; and 15 to 30 feet along the west-facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai. The dangerous surf kept lifeguards and ocean safety officials busy with rescues and preventive actions. However, no serious injuries or property damage were reported. The high swell and surf did complicate the search for possible survivors of two Marine Corps helicopters that had gone down two miles north of Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu late Thursday, Jan. 14. The Marine Corps and Coast Guard later declared all 12 men aboard the helicopters dead after several days of searching.
