Hanalei Bay surf forecast & live buoy readings

Hanalei Bay is rated from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the break itself; live observations come from NDBC 51208 (Hanalei, Kauai, HI), 11 km NW of the lineup and upstream in the swell window. It works on swell from W through NE, best at 12–18 s. The first 5 days, the tide chart and every buoy's live readings and history are free to everyone; a free account adds the full 16-day wave and wind charts and custom swell alerts.
