South shore yesterday.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
Samoa
6.7ft @ 13s from 180° (S)
Southerly energy down to 1.8ft 13 at Barbers. The very small 22s reading is the first arriving energy of a relatively big south swell (or couple of them) that was generated east of New Zealand by the fetches illustrated below in the map collage of June 18 through 23. Surfline predicts 2.5ft 18s from it tomorrow morning. I reported Samoa too to show the decent size it reads today. In 4.5 days we'll see how much of that energy will make it over here.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Waimea
0.5ft @ 13s from 34° (NE)
Mokapu
2.8ft @ 8s from 74° (ENE)
Windswell is declining at Mokapu, north shore is going to look pretty flat (and calm) this morning. The half foot 13s from 34 at the usually very sensitive Waimea buoy might be the only sign (the other buoys don't show anything) of a small NE swell that Surfline predicts to reach 4.4ft 11s this afternoon. That seems a bit optimistic looking at the fetch in the collage of the maps of June 22 through 25 below. Nonetheless, there should be some waves at Hookipa in the afternoon.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
