New long period SSW energy is at the buoys. Below are the maps of April 5 through 7 that show the fetch that generated it.


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

    , 14s, WNW 285º

Hanalei

New small WNW swell is showing 1ft 14s at the NW buoys and 0.3ft 17s at Hanalei. Below are the maps of April 9 through 12 that show the fetch that generated it.


Surfline calls for very little locally today and up to 3ft 13s tomorrow. Plenty leftover 9s NE energy though, so home guess for Hookipa is still around head to head and a half.

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