Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

1.6ft @ 14s from 195° (SSW)

1ft @ 11s from 180° (S)

Lanai

2.2ft @ 14s from 182° (S)

South swell on the decline. Yesterday there were wonderful waves of very high quality all morning in Lahaina (mostly head high with the occasional overhead set). Today should be a bit smaller. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
Pauwela

5.8ft @ 8s from 70° (ENE)

2.6ft @ 4s from 73° (ENE)

ENE windswell is still up and will continue to be so for several days ahead. I put three arrows on the Pauwela forecast below to indicate three distinct swells generated by tropical storms. They should all reach around 2ft at the buoys, starting with fairly long period (third row) and all from a straight east direction (second row). Home guess for Hookipa is around shoulder to head high and sloppy.
