Here's a comparison between two wings I've used quite a bit. Everything I say is based on personal opinions and preferences (even though they're so strong that they sound like objective facts).
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.5ft @ 11s from 174° (S)
1.1ft @ 15s from 184° (S)
Lanai
1.1ft @ 14s from 179° (S)
1ft 14s is exactly what Pat Caldwell had in his table for today, it's really not much (specially in Maui), but once in a while there's a decent wave. Low tide must be killing it, since there were five guys out earlier and they all left. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Pauwela
6ft @ 8s from 73° (ENE)
Windswell came up a bit, small waves at Hookipa, bigger on eastern exposures.
Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim, but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):
South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):
Morning sky.

Thanks for the comparison of the two wings.
Very helpful!
Keep on doing this GP!
