Unlike Oahu, Maui didn't have the southerly wind flow and the conditions were actually pretty sweet all day on the south shore. That's why it would be nice to have a webcam in Lahaina, please spread the word to find an ocean front business owner that would be interested in hosting one with Ozolio (more info on the website).
With Bernd Roediger in front of the lens, it's very likely to get some good shots.
Add Jace Panebianco behind it, and it's pretty much guaranteed.
4am significant buoy readings
South shore
W
2.7ft @ 10s from 147° (SE)
1.3ft @ 15s from 178° (S)
SW
3ft @ 10s from 150° (SE)
3ft @ 10s from 150° (SE)
1.3ft @ 15s from 136° (SE)
Barbers
1.8ft @ 8s from 175° (S)
1.7ft @ 10s from 183° (S)
1.5ft @ 13s from 180° (S)
0.8ft @ 16s from 198° (SSW)
Lanai
1.2ft @ 11s from 190° (S)
Other than the Lanai's one, the buoys readings seem to suggest another small but not flat day on the south shore. I will try to report early.
North shore
NW
6.6ft @ 8s from 1° (N)
NW
6.6ft @ 8s from 1° (N)
Pauwela
2.8ft @ 7s from 89° (E)
Promising short period energy at the NW buoy, but that should only arrive tomorrow. For today, with less than 3f, 7s from the E, Hookipa will be like a lake again. I looked at it yesterday and it looked like the sea in Naples where I grew up. So lucky to now live in a place where a flat day is a rarity!
The wind model is not showing its maps today, so we go by the classic Windguru table. No doubt that today will be another windless day.

North Pacific shows the large fetch NNW of us now aiming at us even though with lighter winds than yesterday. The waves should be rising all day tomorrow and Surfline sees the swell peaking Saturday at 6f 10s from 333.
To the very east and to the very west of the map, a couple of intense storms have small fetches oriented towards, but those are going to do little.

South Pacific shows the fetch E of New Zealand now aiming to Central America. Hopefully we're still in the angular spreading window.
Morning sky shows some clouds over the west side.
And the rain radar at 5.25am shows some rain there.
