Matt Meola on the other side of the channel.
While still unsuccessfully trying to open an account on the unemployment website on one half of the screen, I had webcams of all sorts of the other. This was a simultaneous arrival of a set at Pipeline and the Lahaina harbor. To clear out the possible doubt if they had anything to do with each other, I added on the left the fetches that generated the related swells (April 15 and 12 respectively).
4-5am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.1ft @ 20s from 202° (SSW)
New low long period energy recorded at Barbers. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. There's some really good waves today.
North shore
NW101
4.8ft @ 13s from 286° (WNW)
2.5ft @ 10s from 287° (WNW)
Hanalei
6.3ft @ 13s from 308° (WNW)
Waimea
5.4ft @ 14s from 309° (WNW)
1.5ft @ 10s from 316° (NW)
Pauwela
5.5ft @ 14s from 316° (NW)
1.6ft @ 8s from 76° (ENE)
WNW swell on the slow decline all day, but still with a decent size to start with. Hookipa should be around head and a half, much smaller down the coast (shorter periods wrap less). I will post a beach report before 8am. Sorry, lots of surfing requires lots of rest.
Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
