The more westerly component coming from the fetch indicated by the black arrow in yesterday's post has arrived and shows solid numbers at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead with bigger sets and mixed with the windswell.

The relatively low NW energy temporarily allows Barber to register southerly readings, in this case almost 1ft 15s. Took me a while to catch a set on the cam, so do check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

New large NNW swell is rising at the outer buoys and it's predicted by Surfline to reach 9ft 15s at sunset. It comes from the fetch indicated by the black arrows in the maps of Oct 7 through 10 below. Seen the direction at the NW buoys, it could also be that this first pulse comes from the smaller fetch indicated by the red arrow, but the bigger energy of the black arrow fetch will be right behind. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half in the morning, building to double overhead plus in the late afternoon.

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