Local's Perspective On Day of Days at Maverick’s Catching up with longtime NorCal Mav's vets about Tuesday, December 8th HMB local Luca Padua, December 8th. Photo: Kenan Chan Link copied to clipboard By August Howell As we extensively reported (see links above), Maverick’s saw its best day in recent memory last Tuesday. Consistent 40-foot faces greeted some of the world’s best surfers from sunup to sundown. And while the swell on December 8th peaked to a burly 17 feet @ 19 seconds, the wind stayed mellow all day, allowing for some truly jaw-dropping surfing to take place. As Maverick’s pioneer Jeff Clark put it: “It’s the biggest, most consistent, powerful swell we’ve had since 2010.”
