Hookipa yesterday morning.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 3.7ft
    , 10s, SSE 160º
  • 1.3ft
    , 13s, S 185º

    , 7s, SSE 160º
  • 0.4ft
    , 18s, S 185º

The Tahiti swell is winding down, that 0.4ft 18s at Barbers comes from the angular spreading of a strong fetch aimed at South America that happened on the 18th. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
