Hookipa yesterday.
6am Surfline significant
buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
New long period small swell is at Barbers. It comes from the fetch in the maps of August 1 through 4 below. The same area will see a much stronger fetch in the following days that will generate a larger swell that will arrive mid next week.
Check the
Kihei webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Hanalei
Waimea
Pauwela
NE windswell almost down to nothing while Hanalei and Waimea show half a foot of northerly energy coming from the weak fetch that happened on August 3rd and 4th below. Home guess for
Hookipa is knee to waist high with occasional bigger sets.
Wind map at noon (2 days old prediction). The other ones can be found here.
