Hookipa yesterday.
6am Surfline significant
buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
Lanai
Second large south swell is in the water with impressive readings at the buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of May 25 through 28 below. As for the first one, there's a lot of angular spreading involved and, as for the first one, it seems that the buoys are reading much more than what the Kihei cam shows. Check the
Kihei webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
This is an image from the Ala Moana
webcam. It looks pretty inconsistent over there too, but at least there's double overhead sets once in a while.
North shore
Hanalei
Waimea
Pauwela
The buoys show small short period energy from N to ENE. Home guess for
Hookipa is around waist to chest high with occasional bigger sets, specially in the second half of the day (Surfline calls for 2.4ft 11s at sunset).
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
