This photo by Jimmie Hepp out of this album shows the relatively short period but still sizey waves at Hookipa yesterday.
Yesterday I posted a photo of Leo Fioravanti at Honolua, here's the video he just posted about his trip to the Bay.
3am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.1ft @ 16s from 191° (SSW)
Lanai
0.9ft @ 16s from 197° (SSW)
Yesterday I wrote that I couldn't find a possible source of the low long period energy at Barbers (today at both buoys), as usual Pat Caldwell illuminates us by saying:
A broad area of severe gales SE of New Zealand 1/12-13 aimed highest at the Americas is the source for the low sets locally on Oahu 1/20. , The event will likely linger a few days..
Below is the collage of the maps of Jan 11 through 13 that show the fetch mostly aimed at the Americas.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency (this last one probably being very low).
North shore
Waimea
Pauwela
A mix of relatively short period energy from the NNW and NE is in the local waters. Size is still coming down since the weekend, home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a half with some wind.
Wind map at noon .The other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column (click on animation of the 10 meter column).
