When I got to Hookipa in the afternoon I noticed it was rather large.

Morgan clew first.

Very small SW energy at Barbers. All forecasts have 1ft 18s rising today from the angular spreading fetch (blue circles) in the maps of October 10 through 13 below.


Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

  • 3.2ft

NW energy peaked yesterday and today will be on the decline but still providing waves all day. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double and no wind to start the day with.

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