Some more images from Tuesday. OneMoreFoto posted this amazing image of Randy Welch at the Bay, specifying that he made it all the way.

John Patao went to shoot Jaws instead. This is my 18 year old neighbor Ty Simpon-Kane.


I took this shot at Kanaha yesterday where there still were plenty big sets (over mast high).

Jason Hall took this photo of Donavon ripping at the harbor. Maui is a true paradise if you practice more than one water sport: such amazing variety on offer on a daily basis.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at Barbers. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. It's possible that today there will be a bit of northerly energy wrap in the Lahaina area (and even more on the upper west side) and that looks like one of those waves.

NW swell slowly tapering down and turning more north at the upstream buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is double ovehead with a bit of wind.
