Kanaha yesterday.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
- 3.1ft, 9s, SSE 160º
- 0.8ft, 15s, SW 225º
Lanai
- 1ft, 17s, SSW 210º
- 0.8ft, 12s, S 190º
Very small long period SSW energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency. 
North shore
NW001
- 2.1ft, 13s, NW 305º
Hanalei
- 2.9ft, 9s, E 80º
- 0.9ft, 14s, NW 305º
Mokapu
- 3.1ft, 9s, E 85º
- 2.3ft, 5s, E 85º
Small NW energy returns at the outer buoys after almost a week of easterly windswell. Nothing to be excited though, as it's so small that it will barely noticed. Below are the maps of April 6 through 9 that show the fetch that generated it. As you can see, it moved east across the great circle rays and became better oriented towards the last days. As a result, a proper N swell (6ft 12s) should hit on Tuesday.
Today instead Surfline only calls for 1.3ft 13s and my home guess for Hookipa is still flat with possible inconsistent sets in the waist high range.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
