5am significant buoy readings.
South shore
Samoa
5ft @ 13s from 193° (SSW)
I reported the Samoa reading and graph as they caught my attention. In the post Buoys to Maui travel times and Maui's shadow lines you can see that at that period it takes 4 to 4.5 days to get here. That means that the leftover of that energy that peaked mid afternoon yesterday, should be here already late Thursday afternoon. Probably morphed into something like a couple of feet 15s, we'll see.
As far as the local buoys, no sign of southerly energy at the buoys. The complete flatness of Ala Moana confirms that.
North shore
NW101
5.6ft @ 10s from 24° (NNE)
N
8.3ft @ 10s from 345° (NNW)
Hanalei
5.2ft @ 9s
3.9ft @ 11s from 332° (NNW)
Waimea
6.5ft @ 9s from 342° (NNW)
Mokapu
5.3ft @ 9s from 9° (N)
Pauwela
6.1ft @ 9s from 355° (N)
3.5ft @ 11s from 333° (NNW)
Small NNW 11s energy at the local buoys, but rising 9s N (form the fetch I was most excited about a couple of days ago) as the graph Pauwela below shows. The waves are probably going be a little bigger than yesterday at Hookipa, but fortunately the N direction should open up more spots. Unfortunately, the wind is blowing 20 mph in Kahului at 6.45am.
Wind map at noon.
North Pacific has three small fetches: W, NW and NNE. The last one is nearby and is going to be the only one that will create waves of substance for us.
South Pacific has already gone back to nothing.
Morning sky.
