Thanks to Renew Your Spirit for the donation.
This is Hookipa around 9am. Looks like Yuri.

Well, if it isn't, he surfs like Yuri!

4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

2.4ft @ 9s from 225° (SW)
1.8ft @ 13s from 185° (S)

Lanai

2.5ft @ 13s from 186° (S)

2.4ft @ 10s from 214° (SW)

0.6ft @ 18s from 198° (SSW)

New long period Tasman Sea swell is very small at Lanai, but 1.5ft 13s will provide more consistent and bigger waves (there's head high sets) to the south shore. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Below are the graphs of the maps of Oct 12 through 14. The Tasman Sea swell is indicated by blue arrows, the source of the southerly 13s by red ones. Can you see why the second energy is higher locally, despite the source being much smaller/weaker... less travel distance and obstructions. Tasman swell should improve in a couple of days, when the fetched moved SE of New Zealand.

North shore
NW101
5.2ft @ 10s from 348° (NNW)

Waimea

3.2ft @ 10s from 329° (NW)

2.7ft @ 11s from 332° (NNW)

NW energy coming down slowly, there should still be waves at Hookipa this morning, probably in the head high range.

Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim, but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
