6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

1ft @ 16s from 166° (SSE)

0.8ft @ 12s from 179° (S)

Lanai

1.1ft @ 13s from 193° (SSW)

0.8ft @ 18s from 199° (SSW)

Mix of medium and long period small kind energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. Looks pretty minimal.

North shore
N
5.4ft @ 10s from 34° (NE)

Pauwela

4.1ft @ 9s from 33° (NE)

3.5ft @ 11s from 30° (NNE)

3.1ft @ 7s from 30° (NNE)

NNE energy started to decline at Pauwela, but still the only and dominant one on the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a third. Eastern exposures will still have waves, not sure now about harbor and Honolua at this point.

Energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
