Hookipa yesterday afternoon.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

      • 0.4ft
        , 20s, SW 215º
Mix of southerly energy of different periods at the buoys. The half foot 20s readings probably comes from the fetch that happened in the maps of April 25 and 26 below.

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