Saturday 8 17 19 morning call

Didn't have time to drive south yesterday morning, so I surfed Hookipa, which was a 1.5. Here's Deneb trying unsuccessfully to make something out of virtually nothing. A bit of exercise, that's what it was.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion
South shore
Barbers
2.2ft @ 13s from 250° (WSW)

1.9ft @ 9s from 171° (S)                        

1ft @ 11s from 203° (SSW)

 

Lanai

2.5ft @ 14s from 269° (W)

2.2ft @ 8s from 169° (SSE)

 

Hanalei

2.4ft @ 13s from 278° (W)

 

West swell still in the water but smaller than the past few days. Background south energy down to a minimum. Today it will be a small day everywhere, it's a good thing that the Ole at Launiupoko is a longboard contest...

 

North shore

Mokapu

3.8ft @ 7s from 87° (E)

3.5ft @ 8s from 95° (E)

 

Hilo

5.9ft @ 8s from 96° (E)

 

Windswell trending up a bit, Hookipa might have tiny windy waves, bigger on eastern exposures.

 

Wind map at noon.

 

North Pacific only has the windswell fetch.

 

Nice but fairly weak S fetch in the South Pacific.

 

Morning sky.
