On the other side of the West Maui's we could only see a corner of it, but we did not complain much, as we found ideal conditions for a foil lesson. Justin is a big fan of the blog and here he is on a little flight. Depending on the conditions, I try to take gopro videos of all my students, so that they can check afterwards what the were doing.
Here's Dave Kalama who enjoyed the same activity in a different spot. Photo by @jasonihall. Afterwards he went for a downwind run with some wildly windy conditions.
3-4am significant buoy readings
South shore
Barbers
2.5ft @ 14s from 185° (S)
Lanai
2.3ft @ 13s from 172° (S)
Yesterday there were intermittent SSW readings of around 1.3ft 18s and, more importantly, there were also inconsistent sets like that. That energy is obviously still in the our waters (probably down to 16s), even though in this particular run it didn't show at the buoys. The size was up to head high in select spots (remember the Cloudbreak photos), and I think today might be pretty similar. Too dark for the webcam, check it out yourself.
North shore
Mokapu
4.5ft @ 9s from 60° (ENE)
Hilo
6.2ft @ 8s from 59° (ENE)
Windswell pretty steady, Hookipa had small waves at sunset, it will still have them at sunrise this morning. Looked like waist to chest, bigger size can be found on the east facing exposures, which might be blessed again with no wind for the first couple of hours of light.
Wind map at noon.
North Pacific only has the windswell fetch.
Only a couple of very small fetches in the South Pacific.
Morning sky.
