Hookipa yesterday late afternoon. The new swell hadn't really filled in, but there were little sets like this.
Yesterday morning the waves were very small but with wonderful lack of wind, so I went for a Foil Drive sesh. This clip taken by Tomo shows me taking off on a small unbroken wave.
4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers is back to reading NW wrap and can't be used to detect small southerly energy, check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
7.1ft @ 15s from 310° (WNW)
Hanalei
5.4ft @ 15s from 313° (NW)
Waimea
3.3ft @ 15s from 310° (WNW)
New WNW swell peaked at the NW101 (graph below on the left) and is still rising at the other upstream buoys down the island chain. On the right below is the Surfline forecast which seems to be a bit early time wise. Home guess for Hookipa is for head high (possibly plus) to start the day with and then increasing all day. Sunset should be solid double overhead.
