4am significant buoy readings
North shore
NW101
2.2ft @ 12s from 356° (N)
Hanalei
2.9ft @ 12s from 319° (NW)
Waimea
3.1ft @ 12s from 317° (NW)
Pauwela
7.3ft @ 8s from 44° (NE)
2.9ft @ 6s from 61° (ENE)
2.7ft @ 13s from 325° (NW)
NW swell peaked yesterday and went down quickly, as all the models predicted and as the Pauwela graph below shows. Green line is the NW swell, blue line is the windswell, which is ramping up instead. Today it's going to be pretty average for surfing, considering the small size of the leftover NW energy, the interaction with that of the 8s windswell coming from 44 degrees and the wind which is predicted to blow pretty hard. It's actually not too strong yet in the pre-dawn at my house, so maybe there's a chance for a semi-decent session at Hookipa. I'll report early.
South shore
Lanai
1.2ft @ 14s from 215° (SW)
Lanai insists in registering slivers of energy from the SW, that should mean another day not exactly flat on the south shore.
Wind map at noon.
After a couple of days of minimal wave production (which will reflect in a seasonal minimum in the last part of this week), the North Pacific is now getting ready to rumble. The low in the NW corner is going to deepen greatly the next few days to give life to that Jaws swell on Monday/Tuesday.
Nothing from the South Pacific (big fetch towards South America).
Morning sky.
