Fun waves on the south shore yesterday.

Jimmy Lewis nose riding one of his creations.

She's one of my favorite subjects to shoot.

I spent the whole day on that side. At sunset I passed on this perfection, as it was a bit too small/inconsistent.

Blog reader Scott Werden kindly sent me this photo of the Makena side.

4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
3.4ft @ 15s from 195° (SSW)

Lanai

3.8ft @ 15s from 189° (S)

Pretty solid 15s energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
Hanalei

1.4ft @ 10s from 313° (NW)

0.7ft @ 15s from 285° (WNW)

Waimea
1.2ft @ 16s from 250° (WSW)

Pauwela

3.7ft @ 8s from 51° (ENE)

0.6ft @ 15s from 322° (NW)

Tiny WNW energy at the buoys, so small I don't think it's going to do anything at all locally (and don't feel like investigation on the source fetch). With the windswell on a downward trend, home guess for Hookipa is waist/belly high.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here (click on animation of the 10 meter column).
