 This approaching swell sounds like a macker for sure!
I don't think you use the word 'macher' properly. I'm pretty sure the proper use would be, "It will be 'maching' for sure... dude.

I want to see Jamie O'Brien out there on Monday getting towed in with an inflatable party dock. 
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

The Peahi Challenge got postponed for a day last month for the same reason, for the men anyway, after watching the women get obliterated, which gave a new meaning to the notion "ladies first".  It's been a big winter.

It takes a quiver to do that.

DUDE! It's MACKER (mack er), not MACHER (mock er)!

I'm with Will!

MAX (not MOX)

The Macher Talldude is referring to is, of course, a fluid dynamics term for the ratio of flow velocity to the local speed of sound which would be relevant to the screaming anyone might do if caught inside on a macker.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

At what decibel level would the  OH Sh_T #**&^ range of a macker be reached ? 

20 ft macker  = ____   decibels

30 ft macker  =_____  decibels

40 ft macker  =_____  decibels

Then there is the question of the difference between delta T of the Warm water Macker vs Cold water macker !

I have  seen Kilo Joules in the low thousands, nothing like today's prediction for Monday. Surf-forecast.com is calling for 25,525 kj for Steamer Lane. (I think that is Mavericks.

Nope. Steamer's Lane is in Santa Cruz. Mavericks is north of Half Moon Bay.

There were a few hearty souls out at Mavericks today,   Mui Grande Olas to be sure !

It looked like its usually scary grey, overcast windy mountainous conditions,   who needs a contest ?

Charge on !
