3am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.8ft @ 15s from 190° (S)

Lanai
1.4ft @ 15s from 196° (SSW)

Small long period energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
Waimea

3.5ft @ 7s from 23° (NNE)
2.8ft @ 9s from 2° (N)
1.8ft @ 11s from 340° (NNW)
0.7ft @ 14s from 300° (WNW)

Pauwela

4.8ft @ 8s from 59° (ENE)
3.6ft @ 5s from 72° (ENE)
1.5ft @ 11s from 340° (NNW)

Slivers of leftover NNW energy won't be much visible in the water. The dominant one will be from the ENE. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with some wind.
