Massive congratulations to Paia's Jackson Bunch who qualified for next season's WSL Championship Tour. Here's the moment of celebration that I snipped this morning off the streaming of the last Challanger Series event in Brasil.

Old south swell down to 1ft 12s at Lanai with the addition of 1.4ft 14s of a new small Tasman Sea pulse. Below are the maps of Oct 7 and 8 that show the fetch that generated it.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Big unruly NNW swell finally went down some at the buoys, but with 4.7ft 13s at Pauwela, the waves will still be fairly big on the north shore today. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and half to double high with occasional bigger sets.

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