Hookipa yesterday afternoon.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.4ft at 14s S 185º
0.7ft at 17s S 180º
Couple of small southerly energies at Barbers. Neither one belongs to the first of two big swells we're about to receive in the next few days. Below is the Surfline forecast for the next two days showing the first swell starting to appear this afternoon and reaching 3ft 18s tomorrow at sunset. The second one will be even bigger with a prediction of 4.4ft 18s on Tuesday.
Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
3.7ft @ 10s from 320° (NW)
Hanalei
4.1ft @ 10s from 340° (NNW)
Waimea
3.6ft @ 10s from 331° (NNW)
Mokapu
2.9ft @ 5s from 84° (E)
2.5ft @ 7s from 51° (ENE)
New 10s NW energy is at the upstream buoys. Below are the maps of May 21 through 23 that show the weak fetch that generated it.
Home guess for Hookipa is for chest to head high.
