Hookipa yesterday.
6am Surfline significant
buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
Lanai
Barbers shows some 13s southerly energy while both buoys show some westerly energy too (see fetches maps in the north shore section below). Check the
Kihei webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency. There's definitely sets.
North shore
NW001
N
Hanalei
Pauwela
A couple of fresh energies are going to rise throughout the day. The maps of April 18 through 20 below show the possible source fetches. Seen the westerly direction of the main energy at the outer buoys, I feel like in Maui we're going to get more of the NNE stuff from the fetch indicated by the black arrow instead. Home guess for
Hookipa is around chest high with occasional bigger sets and clean with no wind in the early morning, building to overhead by the end of the day (3ft 16s from 28 degrees predicted by Surfline).
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
