Hookipa yesterday morning.
Kanaha yesterday.
South shore
Lanai
- 0.5ft, 15s, SSW 205º
- 0.4ft, 18s, SSW 205º
Barbers
- 0.5ft, 18s, SW 215º
- 0.5ft, 14s, SSW 210º
The buoys show two half foot SSW energies, one 14/15s and the other one 18s. Below are the maps of November 2 through 5. The red arrow shows the fetch that generated the first one, the black arrow shows the fetch that generated the second one. First one was further away, but it was bigger and with stronger winds, so it generated longer period waves which travel faster and are now arriving at the same time of the shorter period ones generated by the closer but less powerful fetch.
Those Tasman Sea swells get here with a lot less energy that when the were down there, as they have to go through a bunch of archipelagos of islands on the way. One of them is Fiji and this is Cloudbreak yesterday as posted by Brothers Surf Tours.
Nothing to be particularly excited about, at least for today (looks flat but there might be some very isolated sets) and also tomorrow Surfline only predicts 1ft 17s.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
N
- 4.6ft, 12s, NE 35º
Hanalei
- 2.5ft, 11s, NNE 30º
- 2.8ft, 8s, ENE 60º
- 2.1ft, 5s, NE 55º
Waimea
- 2.8ft, 12s, N 5º
- 1.4ft, 8s, NE 40º
- 2.3ft, 4s, NE 40º
Mokapu
- 3.3ft, 11s, NNE 20º
- 2.4ft, 8s, ENE 70º
- 3.3ft, 5s, ENE 65º
The easterly windswell declined quickly while the medium period NE energy picked up again at the N buoy and should rise locally throughout the day (Surfline calls for 3ft 14s at sunset time). Home guess for Hookipa is around head high.
