Tons of action yesterday. Wingers on the inside at Kanaha with massive waves on the reef.

OneMoreFoto went to Honolua for the Legends of the Bay contest that will continue also today.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

  • 2.4ft
    , 8s, S 170º

Small southerly windswell at Barbers, but there might still be some westerly wrap at some spots. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
NW001

  • 12.4ft
    , 15s, NW 310º

Hanalei

  • 12ft
    , 17s, NW 320º
  • 5.1ft
    , 12s, NW 325º

Waimea

  • 10.3ft
    , 18s, NW 315º
  • 7.6ft
    , 14s, NW 315º

Giant NW swell peaked yesterday and today will be on the slow decline, but with the numbers still at the buoys, things won't change much for the regular surfers: the north shore will be too big pretty much everywhere, seek for sheltered spots.

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