Thanks to Francesco for the donation.

Alika at Kaa yesterday. You can see how big and jumbled up the waves on the reef were.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

Mostly NW wrap and westerly windswell (plenty of that yesterday on the west facing shores) at Lanai. At 4am it also recorded 0.9ft 17s from 200. Below are the maps of March 1 through 3 that show the Tasman Sea fetch that generated it.

Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW swell turned a bit more north and went down to 11s, but will still provide plenty size, hopefully a bit more manageable. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double and no wind all morning.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
