Hookipa yesterday morning.
4-5am Surfline
significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.7ft @ 13s from 184° (S)
Southerly energy at Barbers persists. Check the Lahaina
webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Hanalei
2.6ft @ 9s from 5° (N)
Waimea
2.2ft @ 9s from 351° (N)
Kaneohe Bay
4.6ft @ 6s from 55° (ENE)
Small 9s northerly energy and 6s windswell should give Hookipa waves in the chest high range.
There should be a bump in the afternoon (you can see it in the PACIOOS forecast below). Here's Pat Caldwell description of the fetch evolution:
A weak, low-pressure system (1000 mb) tracked east along 45N from the Date Line 9/24 with near gales aimed highest NE of Hawaii. As it moved east of the Hawaii longitude 9/25 (~160W), it intensified with more north to south aim, but too late for Hawaii surf fortune. A short-lived, below-average event is due Tuesday morning from 325-340 degrees, peaking late Tuesday, and dropping to seasonal dregs on Wednesday from 330-360 degrees.
Below are the maps of Sept 24 through 26 that will help follow.
