The barrel machine at the harbor jetty has been working for the last 5 days.

Hookipa at sunset.


At the end of this wave in the harbor, I saw a 4-5 feet shark riding pretty much under my board. It happened already many years ago at Kanaha. Call me weird, but I get a kick out of it, so beautiful!
Always a pleasure to also share the lineup with Robby Naish, one of the most respectful SUP surfers around. Robby, the shark, some perfect waves... that was a really good session.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

• 1.8ft

  , 13s, SSW 205º
• 2.2ft

  , 9s, S 175º
• 0.8ft

  , 17s, S 190º

Barbers

• 1.4ft

  , 13s, SSW 195º
• 0.7ft

  , 15s, SW 225º

SSW energy down to 13s at the buoys, but already a new small long period one shows up underneath. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001

• 7.3ft

  , 11s, N 5º
  

Hanalei

• 3.9ft

  , 13s, N 5º
• 4.3ft

  , 9s, N 5º
  

Waimea

• 5.2ft

  , 11s, N 355º

Pauwela

• 6.5ft

  , 12s, N 5º

Northerly energy continues at the buoy, even though it should be declining today. Home guess for Hookipa is still for double overhead to start the day with and no wind.
