Hookipa yesterday mid day.
This screenshot of the Pipeline webcam at sunset illustrates the grandiosity of the start of a long period distantly generated NW swell with no other swells in the water. The consistency is low and between sets the water has time to settle so that when the next set comes it looks like this: clean lines with no other energy in between them (Waimea was ready 5ft 18s). It has happened twice in the last week and it was great to experience that also in Maui.
- No southerly energy at Barbers. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
