Great readings continues at the buoys for this long lasting swell while a new very long period one starts creeping in. Below are the maps of March 26 through 30 that show angular spreading fecthes that should maintain wave action for quite a few days ahead.

Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Massive difference in the direction at the NW buoys. This swell picked up locally yesterday afternoon more than I expected it. Hookipa looked really good and overhead at sunset. I'm still gonna call it overhead from home, despite the non impressive 2.7ft 14s at Pauwela.
