Easterly swell pretty solid at Hookipa and the eastern exposures yesterday (will be also today), this is my pick of Jimmie Hepp's album.
In this wind, this is what I would be doing (the guy is on a foil), but hip pain persists and I'm staying off the foil.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.2ft @ 14s from 200° (SSW)
Lanai
0.9ft @ 12s from 186° (S)
0.9ft @ 14s from 189° (S)
Tiny amount of new 14s southerly energy coming from the angular spreading fetch below of Nov 2nd.
It'll probably be barely noticeable, but once in a while there's a little wave like this. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Mokapu
6.2ft @ 9s from 67° (ENE)
Waimea
1.9ft @ 11s from 13° (NNE)
1.8ft @ 13s from 341° (NNW)
Comparing the esterly energy at Mokapu with the NNE and NNW energy at Waimea it's easy to deduce that the easterly energy will be dominant at Hookipa and on the eastern exposures. With 6ft 9s, those last ones will be pretty intense actually.
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.
