North shore
NW001
- 9.8ft, 14s, NW 305º
- 3ft, 9s, WNW 295º
Hanalei
- 7.5ft, 14s, NW 310º
- 2ft, 10s, NNW 330º
Waimea
- 5.4ft, 15s, NW 310º
- 2ft, 9s, NNW 330º
NW swell is on the slow decline but should still provide plenty energy to our north shore, also because, following the path of the fetch that I posted a couple of days ago, it's now coming from a little less westerly direction. Home guess for Hookipa is for head and a half to double and relatively clean thanks to the lack of wind.
