South shore
Barbers
2.3ft @ 15s from 187° (S)

New long period south swell looks good at Barbers. Below are the maps of Oct 12 through 15 that show the evolution of the fetch that generated it.


Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW101
4.4ft @ 14s from 342° (NNW)

Hanalei
2.7ft @ 15s from 336° (NNW)

Waimea
2ft @ 17s from 335° (NNW)

Kaneohe Bay
3ft @ 8s from 42° (NE)

NNW energy from the fetch indicated by the red arrow in yesterday's map collage is at the upstream buoys and will be on the rise all day. Home guess for Hookipa is for head to overhead high waves and clean, thanks to the light wind.
