5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.6ft @ 16s from 182° (S)

Lanai

1.7ft @ 13s from 189° (S)

1.5ft @ 16s from 191° (SSW)

Foot and a half 16s southerly energy at the buoys should provide the south shore with some fun waves also today. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001
2ft @ 10s from 324° (NW)

Hanalei
2ft @ 11s from 327° (NW)

Waimea
2.4ft @ 12s from 329° (NW)

Pauwela

2.4ft @ 8s from 73° (ENE)

2.4ft @ 11s from 330° (NW)

2.2ft @ 9s from 332° (NNW)

NW swell peaked yesterday as clearly shown in the Pauwela graph below, presented together with yesterday's prediction and Surfline forecast. Still a couple of feet 10-12s at the upstream buoys, so we can expect that energy to be in the water all day today. It's going to be smaller than yesterday, home guess for Hookipa is for around head high.
