4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
Lanai
The two swells we saw yesterday are still at the buoys, the long period one looking very promising with a lovely one foot 18s, while the shorter period one will add some consistency to the otherwise scarce numbers of sets.
Check the Lahaina
or Kihei
webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Pauwela
7ft @ 9s from 78° (ENE)
Today it's going to be all about the easterly energy, before a significant NNW swell arrives tomorrow (fetches on yesterday's and today's maps). Home guess for Hookipa is chest to shoulder, much bigger on eastern exposures. Wind conditions should be very favorable for a couple of days at least.
