Andrea Crociara yesterday at Kanaha.

Another day of bad surfing conditions at Hookipa.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore

Small southerly energies at Lanai. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

• 9.3ft

  , 10s, E 85º
• 2.3ft

  , 15s, NW 305º

  , 7s, E 80º

New small long period NW energy is at the outer buoys. Below are the maps of February 26 through 28 that show the fetch that generated it.

This is the new format of the Surfline forecast that shows this swell reaching a rather unimpressive 1.5ft 15s at sunset. If you're a Surfline subscriber, please let them know how hard to read this format is compared to how it was.

Wouldn't count too much on that energy, specially because the easterly windswell will be dominant again. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half and stormy.

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