Hookipa yesterday.

Posted on June 28, this wonderful performance of Lily Meola on the AGT show already got 2.5 million views on Youtube. I got very emotional since she, her brother Matt and their mom Nancy were my next door neighbors a while ago, but even if you never met her, I wish you good luck at not crying when watching it.

Long lasting south swell on its way down, but still providing nice waves. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

  , 7s, ENE 65º

This seems to be the new buoy page on Surfline. I don't like as much as the previous one, but at least they still have one.
The windswell at Mokapu is up to 6ft 7s, home guess for Hookipa is for waist to chest high.

Hookipa yesterday.

In the meantime that I eventually edit yet another video that will interest an extremely little number of people (a comparison between Armstrong A+ and non A+ 85cm masts), here's an unedited clip from yesterday's downwind run n.2. Excellent conditions.

The second pulse of this long lasting south swell must have arrived, as the period went back up to 15s.

Surfline is discontinuing on of the main reasons why I pay for the subscription: the page with all the buoy readings. If you are a subscriber too and don't like that, please send them an email about it.
Windswell only in the water, home guess for Hookipa is around waist high.

Barbers

South swell pretty solid at Barbers, even without the predicted reinforcing second pulse showing yet (but it might be in the water nonetheless). Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

1.2ft at 13s S 175º

New long period south swell is up at Barbers. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency (this last one is going to be low as usual with the start of a long period distantly generated swell).

South shore yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

1.8ft at 13s SSW 195º

0.3ft at 22s S 180º

Samoa
6.7ft @ 13s from 180° (S)

Southerly energy down to 1.8ft 13 at Barbers. The very small 22s reading is the first arriving energy of a relatively big south swell (or couple of them) that was generated east of New Zealand by the fetches illustrated below in the map collage of June 18 through 23. Surfline predicts 2.5ft 18s from it tomorrow morning. I reported Samoa too to show the decent size it reads today. In 4.5 days we'll see how much of that energy will make it over here.

North shore

Waimea
0.5ft @ 13s from 34° (NE)

Mokapu
2.8ft @ 8s from 74° (ENE)

Windswell is declining at Mokapu, north shore is going to look pretty flat (and calm) this morning. The half foot 13s from 34 at the usually very sensitive Waimea buoy might be the only sign (the other buoys don't show anything) of a small NE swell that Surfline predicts to reach 4.4ft 11s this afternoon. That seems a bit optimistic looking at the fetch in the collage of the maps of June 22 through 25 below. Nonetheless, there should be some waves at Hookipa in the afternoon.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
