Thanks to Doug, Alex, Shep and Always Aloha Leis for the donations.

The last week of the year is when I remind the readers that they can show their appreciation for the work done during 2021 with a donation. Thank you.

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
0.8ft @ 15s from 190° (S)

Small long period energy at Barbers probably coming from the fetch unimpressive fetch below in the maps of Dec 17 and 18.


Not much to be expected from that, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
N
9.5ft @ 9s from 42° (NE)

Hanalei

Kaneohe Bay

6ft @ 10s from 22° (NNE)
4.4ft @ 11s from 30° (NNE)
3.1ft @ 6s from 47° (NE)
