But the real star was Zane Schweitzer who was on what looked like his 6.10 Hypernut SUP board (but laying down) and holding his nose rides till very late.
But always able to cross step his way back at the very last moment.
Hitting some lips here and there.
Biggest wave I've seen all day.
Team Wavestorm gets ready.
They had a blast.
5am significant buoy readings
South shore
Lanai
0.4ft @ 18s from 191° (SSW)
That sliver of long period energy at Lanai could be the extremely inconsistent forerunners of the out of season south swell predicted to peak during the weekend. I doubt it will do much, but check the webcams if interested.
Below is the graph of Samoa that indicates the south swell on its way (blue line first, then orange and then light blue).
North shore
NW101
1.9ft @ 14s from 340° (NNW)
N
6.6ft @ 10s from 9° (N)
5.5ft @ 8s from 11° (NNE)
Hanalei
1.4ft @ 16s from 334° (NNW)
Waimea
0.6ft @ 16s from 319° (NW)
Pauwela
5.6ft @ 10s from 3° (N)
4.5ft @ 8s from 6° (N)
1.4ft @ 5s from 42° (NE)
0.5ft @ 18s from 355° (N)
Small NNW energy on the rise today at all buoys (the 355 direction at Pauwela is influenced by the primary N energy), but also today the most dominant swell will be the closely generated shorter period N swell. And also today the wind will ruin pretty much every spot on the north shore. And it's about to get even breezier, as the Windguru table below shows.
Wind map at noon.
North Pacific has a very strong NW fetch and a now weak nearby NE one. The first one will generate a large swell that will hit during the weekend. I believe they called the Legends of the Bay for Saturday and Sunday.
South Pacific has a distant fetch in the Tasman Sea that won't do much for us.
Morning sky.
