The harbor jetty had that perfect size for s-turning on a foil and Dave Kalama was graciously dancing with each single wave he caught. Unfortunately, I only decided to take a video of his last one, where he didn't have the freedom to use the whole wave, but the first couple of cutbacks should give you an idea of how much fun doing that is.
5am significant buoy readings
South shore
Lanai
1.6ft @ 13s from 240° (WSW)
The small westerly energy at Lanai described yesterday continues and I continue not having reports from the south shore, so I'm gonna guess very small waves might be on tap also today.
North shore
Waimea
2.6ft @ 12s from 331° (NNW)
Pauwela
8.6ft @ 10s from 79° (ENE)
I reported Waimea because it's the only buoy that registers some small NNW energy, but with 8.6ft @ 10s from 79° (ENE) at Pauwela, it's going to be hard to notice it. Easy call today, either Hookipa or any east facing shores. Wind should be calm till 10, when an 5-10 knots onshore breeze should pick up and blow all day.
Wind map at noon.
North Pacific has a tiny west fetch, a NW one (but moving north) and a now weak E one. We can say that it's taking a little break as far as wave generation goes (which will result in small waves over the weekend), but it's not going to last long.
South Pacific has two relatively weak SSW and SSE fetches.
Morning sky.
