Tonight's the night: Paradigm Lost at 6.30 at the Macc!
And just to get into the mood, here's a video that Kai posted yesterday.
This photo by Jimmie Hepp from this gallery shows the size (and poor shape) of the NW bump at Hookipa yesterday.
5am significant buoy readings
South shore
Hilo
2.8ft @ 11s from 109° (ESE)
No sign of southerly energy at any buoy. The Hilo one shows some energy from a direction that is blocked by the Big Island, so I'm gonna guess that today the south shore will be flat to knee high.
The next pulse of long period energy coming from the Tasman Sea fetch that I highlighted 6-7 days ago should pick up around Sunday.
North shore
NW101
3ft @ 11s from 321° (NW)
Waimea
2.2ft @ 11s from 309° (WNW)
Pauwela
2.6ft @ 11s from 337° (NNW)
If you remember the fetch map that I post every day, you'll remember that the storm that made this NW swell stayed in the same place (blocked by the strong high pressure to its east) for a few days. And that's why for a few days we're gonna have very similar readings at the buoy. This is the third day and it should continue all the way through the weekend.
Wind map at noon. Should be good for windfoiling.
The whole next 10 days should be good for windfoiling. Perfect conditions for learning, hit me up if you want to.
North Pacific shows pretty much the windswell only.
South Pacific not even that.
Morning sky looks extremely clear.
