Hookipa yesterday morning.
Hookipa yesterday afternoon.
Foil Drive released a new video with some testimonies, including mine.
4am Surfline
significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.6ft @ 13s from 217° (SW)
I'm quite dubious about that Barbers reading, check the Lahaina
webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
Hanalei
4.2ft @ 13s from 325° (NW)
Waimea
4.8ft @ 12s from 323° (NW)
Kaneohe Bay
3ft @ 8s from 45° (NE)
NW swell at similar levels of yesterday, only in the late afternoon there should be an increase in size, before getting out of control in the weekend. That's when the HSA has called a contest on at the Harbor Jetty... gonna be interesting. Home guess for Hookipa this morning is for head to head and a half.
The wind will be extremely key in order to score good conditions, so I recommend to check out the hourly wind maps with the link below. Here's an brief abstract of the complex weather situation from this NOAA page:
A vigorous cold front has begun moving through the state from the northwest this morning. Winds have been turning toward the north and are increasing in speed as the front begins to move down the island chain. The front is expected to stall near the Big Island tonight and Saturday as a strong low aloft develops near Kauai. The low aloft will spawn a surface low just west of Kauai Saturday night, with this kona low lingering near the islands for at least several days. A convergence band of showers east of the low will develop over the islands, with a strong potential for unsettled weather.
Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):
