Pretty good size waves yesterday, this is Hookipa at sunset.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion
South shore
No southerly energy at Barbers, little out of season south swell is over. There shouldn't be much, but check the Lahaina webcam if interested.

North shore
NW001
6.9ft @ 15s from 302° (WNW)

5.8ft @ 10s from 309° (WNW)

Pauwela

5.6ft @ 14s from 317° (NW)

4.2ft @ 10s from 347° (NNW)

3.6ft @ 11s from 322° (NW)

 

Yesterday's WNW peaked, but it will still offer plenty waves of slightly smaller size and different periods (read Pat Caldwell description of the sources, if interested), before a new reinforcement arrives tomorrow. Hookipa should be overhead, I will report from the beach around 7am. There should be no wind until around 11am.

North Pacific has many scattered fetches, the most important of which is the one just to our NW which will send us a medium period swell (9ft 12s from 319 predicted by Surfline on Friday night).


South Pacific has a small fetch blocked by New Zealand.
