This is the reply I got from the Mayor's office to my email:
Aloha,
Under current Public Health Emergency Rules, County of Maui park hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Which means that until there's an insurrection, they're not gonna change it. So please keep sending emails to the Mayor's office: Mayors.Office@co.maui.hi.us
to ask to open the beach parks before 7am as it used to be before Covid.
Fun surfing on the Makena side yesterday.
Waves were a bit racey.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.2ft @ 15s from 185° (S)
Lanai
3ft @ 15s from 179° (S)
Period down to 15s, but still 3ft at Lanai, should be another good day of surfing on the south shore. At least to start with, because, as Pat Caldwell reminds us, since this is an angular spreading event, past experience has shown that once the dominant wave period falls within 10-14 second, the energy drops sharply, because the longer-period swell maintains size much better during the travel, with the shorter-period swell having substantially more decay.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
2.7ft @ 13s from 348° (NNW)
Pauwela
4.2ft @ 9s from 71° (ENE)
The windswell at Pauwela will give small waves to Hookipa and the eastern exposures. The NW001 buoy started recording 13s NNW energy around midnight. At 13s it takes 19h to get here, so I don't think there's going to be anything from that locally all day. Tomorrow there will be.
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.
