This is how JD Followcam gets his shots.
Hookipa in the afternoon.
4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Lanai
- 1ft, 17s, SSW 195º
Barbers
- 1.5ft, 15s, S 190º
Small long period southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
- 4.3ft, 12s, NW 305º
- 2.1ft, 8s, NW 325º
N
- 4.8ft, 10s, NW 325º
- 2.5ft, 8s, NW 325º
- 1.3ft, 15s, NNE 20º
Hanalei
- 2ft, 14s, N 350º
- 2.6ft, 10s, NNW 345º
Waimea
- 2.5ft, 10s, NNW 335º
- 1.3ft, 14s, N 5º
The mix of small different period energies from 305 to 20 degrees at the buoys is the result of the rather scattered fetches happened in the last few days. Below are the maps of January 3 through 6. I included California in the snip, so you can see the bombing low that caused the damage in the Santa Cruz area.
Home guess for Hookipa is shoulder to head hig and light wind in the first hours of the morning, but a bit mixed up.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: possibly over the ice sheet) from Windy.
