Small SSW energy at Lanai. Below are the maps of March 1 through 3 that show the fetch that generated it.

North shore
NW101

  • 7ft
    , 7s, W 275º
  • 3.7ft
    , 11s, NW 305º
  • 2.2ft
    , 9s, N 5º

N

  • 4.2ft
    , 13s, N 0º
  • 3.3ft
    , 9s, ENE 70º
  • 3ft
    , 6s, WSW 240º

Mokapu

  • 3.6ft

  • 1.1ft
    , 15s, NNE 25º
  • 0.9ft
    , 13s, NNE 30º

Small 3.7ft 11s NW energy is at the NW101 buoy while the N one records 4.2ft 13s from the N. Based on those relatively distant readings, home guess for Hookipa around head high and clean before the Kona gets stronger.

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