Thanks to blog reader Geoff for the donation.
Of the many Peahi shots from yesterday I've already seen so far, this one from John Patao is the one that impressed me the most. It's Nathan Florence in a inconceivably steep drop. Would love to find out if he stuck it, but it doesn't really matter. Putting yourself in a situation like that requires massive skills, balls and a bit of craziness.
First video on youtube of the Jaws session. There will be plenty more, but at the moment this is the only one up.
Same for Honolua Bay. Saw many more on FB and IG, but can't share those (or at least I don't know how).
This one instead will probably remain the only one filmed yesterday at... "the other Bay".
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.

Check the Lahaina webcam
if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Waimea
XL swell peaked yesterday and today is going to be definitely smaller and declining. Hookipa probably still unsurfable by the common mortals to start the day with, but other more protected spots will be more manageable. Below is Waimea's graph, Maui is about 4 hours later than that.
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.
