The two SSW energies we discussed yesterday are still under one foot. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Few different N-NE energies are in the water. Below are the maps of November 9 though 11. The black arrows indicate the latest fetch that generated (and is still generating) some of them. The red arrows show the fetch that generated the NW energy we will start receiving tomorrow and is predicted by Surfline to peak Sunday at 5.8ft 15s from 326.


As you can see from the wind map below, the wind will be sideon on the north shore and that will dramatically affect the quality of the waves. Home guess for Hookipa is head to head and third and stormy.

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