6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

Lanai
      • 0.9ft
        , 17s, SSW 200º

Marginal long period energy at Lanai, but nothing on the cam. I think it comes from a one day fetch south of New Zealand that happened on October 12 (map below).

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

Moderate NW swell peaked yesterday and today will be declining. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets.
