Lahaina side yesterday.
Hookipa yesterday.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
- 2.2ft, 12s, S 180º
- 1.2ft, 15s, SW 215º
Lanai
- 2.5ft, 12s, S 185º
- 1.6ft, 14s, SSW 200º
Both buoys show a mix of southerly 12s and SSW 14-15s energies.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
N
- 4.6ft, 11s, N 10º
- 3.5ft, 8s, NNE 15º
Hanalei
- 2.6ft, 9s, NNE 30º
- 1.2ft, 13s, NNE 30º
Waimea
- 3.1ft, 8s, N 10º
- 1.3ft, 13s, NNE 20º
New slightly longer period NNE energy is at the buoys while the older smaller period one keeps declining. The former comes from a fetch associated with a low that formed on the 15th and you can see its evolution in the maps below of May 15 though 17. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high and no wind for the first part of the morning.
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.
