Hookipa in the morning had light kona's. Then mid morning to early afternoon it blew onshore...
...before going back to kona's around 3-4pm. Lots of barrels at sunset.
6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Lanai
- 1.3ft, 11s, SW 215º
Small SW energy at Lanai, but the whole south shore will be blown out by the kona's.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
- 16.8ft, 15s, NW 305º
- 5ft, 10s, NW 315º
- 5.3ft, 7s, NW 310º
Hanalei
- 10.5ft, 9s, NW 310º
- 1.4ft, 15s, NW 320º
- 1.3ft, 13s, NW 315º
Waimea
- 8ft, 8s, W 275º
- 1.9ft, 12s, N 350º
Previous NW swell is down to minimal levels (couple of feet 12-13s) and that's what it's going to be in the water in the morning. Later in the afternoon we should start receiving the energy of the next XL NW swell that is already pumping almost 17ft 15s at the NW buoy. This is going to be a very closely generated swell with tons of energy and overlapping periods, hence stormy. The kona winds might have the ability to clean it up though. Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is around head high and clean whenever the wind is not too strong in between rain squalls.
