Hookipa yesterday at sunset.



6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Lanai
      • 1ft
        , 15s, SW 215º
      • 0.6ft
        , 12s, SSW 210º

Very small southerly energy at Lanai (but that could be easily be a NW wrap) and nothing on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Pauwela

            • 4.7ft
              , 14s, NNW 340º
            • 7.3ft

              , 5s, ENE 70º
Second pulse of NW energy is in the water. The fact that the highest reading is at the N buoy confirms the angular spreading nature of the swell (missing us to our east). Easterly windswell is pumping. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double with a slow downward trend all day.
