Yesterday I filmed the clips of the CV-vlog n.3. Here's a screenshot.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at the buoys and yet there's some waves like the full moon beauty below. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
7.1ft @ 9s from 319° (NW)
Hanalei
4.9ft @ 10s from 326° (NW)
4.3ft @ 12s from 319° (NW)
Waimea
4.6ft @ 11s from 313° (NW)
3.4ft @ 13s from 307° (WNW)
Pauwela
4.7ft @ 9s from 320° (NW)
2.8ft @ 14s from 315° (NW)
Long period distantly generated NW swell still lingering around, but not for long. Most of the energy today will be provided by the short/medium period closely generated NW swell, which, to be honest, disappointed me quite a bit yesterday afternoon. The aspect that was particularly poor was the consistency. You would expect a nearby generated swell to be pretty consistent, but it wasn't. I think the reason is that most of the energy of this swell is missing us to our west. I'm sure the upstream islands had better size and consistency. We'll see if it's better this morning, I'll try to post a Hookipa highway side report later. Should be at least head high with very clean conditions again.
Watch out for the full moon low tide at 8.45am.
Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
North Pacific fetches map (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner):
Nearby low still offering a small fetch oriented towards us, but the strongest winds are still aiming to our west.
South Pacific fetches map (about 7 days travel time from east of New Zealand):
nothing of relevance.
Morning sky.
