Hookipa yesterday.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
- 2.6ft, 8s, S 175º
Small southerly windswell at Barbers. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
- 6.9ft, 16s, WNW 290º
Hanalei
- 7.6ft, 17s, NW 325º
- 4.3ft, 13s, NW 315º
Waimea
- 5.9ft, 17s, NW 320º
- 4ft, 12s, NW 320º
New long period WNW swell will be on the rise all day. Below are the maps of January 17 and 18 that show the fetch that generated it.
Below is the Surfline forecast showing a peak mid day at almost 7ft 16s.
Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead and clean thanks to the lack of wind, getting bigger as the day goes. Direction at the NW buoy is 290 which will keep the consistency down, specially down the coast towards Kahului.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
