Kanaha yesterday.


Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

        , 10s, SSE 160º
The new long period southerly energy I discussed yesterday shows 1.5ft 18s at the buoys, but the cams shows great inconsistency. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Pauwela

            • 4.7ft
              , 8s, ENE 75º

            • 1.3ft
              , 3s, NE 50º
ENE windswell only. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high with occasional bigger sets.

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

Kanaha yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.2ft
        , 13s, S 180º

        , 13s, S 185º
      • 0.6ft
        , 20s, SSW 200º
Small 13s southerly energy at the buoys plus some tiny very long period readings. The only possible generating fetch I found for the latter is the unimpressive one that happened on June 21 below. Surfline calls for almost 2ft 18s tomorrow morning, I doubt it instead.

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

Pauwela

            • 5.9ft

            • 4.6ft
              , 6s, ENE 65º
ENE windswell shows some pretty high numbers. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest high with occasional bigger sets.

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